Ah, spring! Ahhhhh-choo!
May is Clean Air Month. It's Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. It's a month when patients might be firing questions at you, between sneezes and wheezes, about their airways and the pollen count.
To help with answers, this month the Academy is mailing you easy-to-read materials you can copy as patient education handouts. They're part of the Annual Clinical Focus 2001: Asthma, Allergy and Respiratory Infections.
The handouts cover topics such as allergic conjunctivitis, acute bronchitis, antibiotics (when they can and can't help), asthma flare-ups, dust mites, ear infections, flu and colds, sinusitis and sore throat.
Next month, you will receive the new American Family Physician monograph, Management of Acute Sinusitis and Acute Otitis Media.
ACF 2001 is a program of the AAFP developed in cooperation with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; American Lung Association; National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; and American Thoracic Society.
FP Report is published by the AAFP News Department.
