Abstract		Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects people of all ages. It involves reversible airway constriction. Its timely diagnosis and treatment are of great importance for the quality of life of these patients. Many successful drugs are available, but for a comprehensive approach to asthma it is very important for GPs and their patients to be familiar with the disease and aware of all factors influencing its outcome. Only this approach can improve compliance with treatment.
Summary		Astma je kronična vnetna bolezen, ki prizadene ljudi vseh starosti. Pomeni povratno zožanje dihalnih poti. Njeno pravočasno odkrivanje in zdravljenje pomembno vplivata na kakovost življenja. Poznana so učinkovita zdravila, za celostno obravnavo pa je pomembno, da tako bolniki kot zdravniki dobro poznamo naravo obolenja in se zavedamo vseh dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na izhod bolezni ter tako izboljšamo zavzetost za zdravljenje.
