Abstract
It is necessary to understand first of all the general characteristics in adolescence from social, economical and psychological point of view in order to treat asthma in adolescence. The bothering problems in adolescence are deteriorations in adherence to treatment and overt narrowing of small airways. Most important to prevent them are to understand various factors associated with intractability of asthma in adolescence and to support the patient and the family in establishing their self-management and to re-evaluate and step-up treatment strategies if necessary.
