Rezensionen

"The audience is practicing pulmonologists and researchers in the field of asthma. ... Several color diagrams illustrate the pathophysiology of the disease and tables summarize the latest data on the management of the disease, both of which increase the pedagogic value of the book. The book deals with several emerging topics like forced oscillometry and serum periostin use in the diagnosis of asthma." (Santosh Dhungana, Doody's Book Reviews, May 03, 2019)
