AKT question relating to diagnosis of asthma

Dr Mike Houghton

GP, Warwickshire

A man of 30 presents with a history of intermittent wheeze and breathlessness, which he associates with hay fever. Although he is currently asymptomatic, he would like a definitive diagnosis. Spirometry is not available.

The ‘single most useful’ diagnostic test in primary care is

1. Chest X-ray
2. Eosinophil count
3. Serial peak flow readings
4. Serum IgE
5. Skin Prick tests
