Dear Colleagues
This week 24 message from GINA for sharing with colleagues relates to the need to ensure appropriate referral of young children with asthma too specialists.
Please share this with colleagues.
In children with asthma 5 years or younger, strongly consider specialist referral for further diagnostic investigations if :
· there is was a very early onset of symptoms
· failure to respond to treatment, or
· features suggesting alternative diagnoses. www.ginasthma.org/reports.


With kind regards
