This essential title in the Clinical Cases Uncovered series includes all the crucial scenarios in respiratory medicine that feature in real-life practice. The first section of basic science covers anatomy and physiology, plus the relevant pathological background, while the section on approach to the patient gives a concise history of how diagnoses are made and presents information on relevant drugs, with pictures and investigations. The cases can be worked through as they would be in clinical practice.
