Interviewing of patients, physical findings, laboratory findings.

ABSTRACT

When diagnosing bronchial asthma, it is necessary to make a comprehensive assessment of the information obtained by interviewing the patient, physical findings, and laboratory findings, while taking into consideration the course of the condition. This is not an easy task unless it is a classic case. On the other hand, based on the information obtained from the patient interview, it is possible to make predictions to some extent and conduct laboratory tests accordingly. During the patient interview, considerations should be given to other possible diseases, concomitant diseases, degree of severity with/without attacks.
