| What may be the possible reason for a patient on what appears to be a good asthma treatment plan that is still doing poorly | Not enough medication, confounding feature (allergies, GERD, CF), wrong diagnosis, suboptimal medication delivery (poor technique, poor adherence) | ||||
| When should you refer your allergy patient | Acute life threatening attack, moderate to severe asthma, steroid dependent, atypical/complicated asthma, poor response to optimal therapy, confounding variables, more complicated diagnostic studies required | ||||
