Abstract
Underdiagnosis of asthma is an important public health issue, particularly in conflict zones where populations are moved into crowded shelters. A survey of people living in Syrian shelters found a high prevalence of undiagnosed asthma. This is likely due to intense exposure of cooking fumes and tobacco smoke, as well as post-traumatic stress disorder. There is a need for chronic respiratory disease care in these settings.
