be a practical resource and a daily aid for physicians in the hospital
setting and in primary care. Coverage of Clinician’s Desk Reference:
Asthma ranges from epidemiology and scientific principles, diagnosis
and treatment, to patient advice sheets and frequently asked questions.
Emphasis throughout is on the continuing management of asthma, based
