- Abstract
The diagnosis of severe or chronic disease in children induces high level anxiety in their parents, occurring also in relation with asthma diagnosis. For this reason and because of difficulties in asthma diagnosis and variability of clinical manifestation, asthma diagnosis is often delayed. Parents should be informed when the disease is suspected so that they better understand the diagnostic procedures. Not only the time, but also the way and extent of knowledge are important. Medical information should be comprehensive to avoid the situation when patients look for knowledge about disease, prognosis and treatment in the less reliable sources. In this paper the principles of asthma diagnosis are presented, including younger children and the usefulness of asthma predictive index.
