Review: This is a practical guide for all those involved with the care of patients with respiratory disease – doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, etc. It begins by looking at how to make a diagnosis: the disease process, symptoms and signs, examination and tests. It goes on to look at specific diseases and disorders of the respiratory system (lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, diffuse parenchymal (interstitial) lung disease, pleural diseases, infections of the respiratory tract, suppurative lung conditions, sleep-related breathing disorders, respiratory failure and pulmonary vascular problems). There is also a section on respiratory pharmacology. Finally, there are 33 multiple-choice questions (with answers).
