M.A. De Kock

Abstract

The concept (connotation) of the word asthma is discussed. The response to treatment with disodium cromoglycate (Lomudal, Fisons) in 100 patients  with chronic airway obstruction is reported. In selecting patients it is  essential to classify them with regard to the mechanism of airways  obstruction and, if possible, the aetiology. Such a classification is presented and the role of disodium cromoglycate in the treatment of asthma is discussed.
