The magnitude of the asthma problem in Cape Town, as reflected by cases presenting to a large hospital, is described. The need for better facilities to treat acute asthma and to provide supervised interval therapy is discussed. A plea is made for the more widespread use of well-established simple beside aids in the assessment of the severity of asthma and the response to therapy.
