Review
“Peerless as a simple review of the causes, diagnosis and treatment of asthma in adults and children.”
Journal of the Royal College of Physicians

“It contains a wealth of valuable information … If it was sufficiently widely read and acted upon, the management of asthma would be greatly improved.”
Journal of the Irish Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons

“The ABC of Asthma is unchallenged in its simplicity and yet retains its value as a comprehensive guide … Very highly recommended.”
Continuing Medical Education
