title: Asthma in childhood. A review.
abstract: Asthma is currently considered by many to be a disease out of control. The prevalence and severity of asthma have increased in recent years, especially in children. Asthma is a very diagnosable condition. Better methods for treatment and monitoring now exist. It is hoped that with the implementation of expanded knowledge of asthma, this very common condition in childhood can be brought under better control.
