title: Asthma 2015: The Year in Review.
abstract: Between January 1, 2015, and the end of October, there were >6,500 peer-reviewed papers listed in PubMed on asthma. Of necessity, those that have been selected for inclusion for this Year in Review represent a few that have caught the reviewer's interest, organized by themes. Not unexpectedly, some of these papers are in conflict with each other, whereas others raise more questions then they appear to answer. All in all, it has been a busy year in the asthma world and with new medications reaching the market in coming years, it is unlikely that this interest will abate.
