title: Greater understanding enhances control. Maintaining pharmacological control of asthma.
abstract: 1. Asthma is a syndrome--not a disease--which affects the bronchi in the lungs. 2. Asthma is a cause of substantial ill-health, and economic loss (due to sick leave) to both clients and society. 3. Agreed systems of management (protocols) between client and practitioner may help clients gain control over their condition.
