B. B. Kogan. Bronchial asthma. Medgiz, 1959
The second edition of the book by B. B. Kogan appeared 9 years after the first. The book has been significantly revised and supplemented in the light of new data accumulated over this long period. In fact, the reader has received a new book devoted to one of the most pressing issues of internal medicine. The most prominent expert on the problem of asthma, B. B. Kogan defends its nosological, not symptomatic understanding, emphasizing that bronchial asthma "... is an independent nosological unit representing a classic allergic disease with a more or less outlined clinical picture ...". Thus, bronchial asthma as a nosological unit is contrasted with symptomatic forms of suffocation. The chapter on asthma classifications critically examines the schemes of a number of authors and again draws the boundaries between bronchial asthma as an independent disease and its symptomatic forms.
