[The cooperation of pneumonologist and allergologist in the care of patients with bronchial asthma (author's transl)].

The initial manifestation of atopic bronchial asthma belongs in diagnostics and therapy into the field of the allergologist. But the services of the specialty tuberculosis and respiratory diseases can assist especially with hospital treatment in this care because the services for allergology in the policlinical departments for internal medicine and pediatrics do not dispose of bed capacities of their own. The cooperation of the specialty tuberculosis and respiratory diseases is appropriate in the dispensaire care and hospital treatment of asthmatics especially in those cases, when there is an infect-induced asthma, if any other respiratory diseases exist as complications of bronchial asthma or if disturbances of pulmonary function supervene. Then the consultation with the specialist of clinical immunology and allergology may become necessary.
