Summary

Prof. L. M. Fabbri was member of the international expert group who provided a consensus paper on the management of asthma. Pharmacological therapy of asthma has become more potent, longer acting and better available. It should follow the strategies applied to steps of severity of the disease. Specific immunotherapy (IT) is not discussed here extensively, but it is stated that IT is under continual investigation. Its use, however is limited (younger persons, few and unavoidable allergens, totally reversible lung function).
