| Abstract |
Prepared on the basis of discussions during a consensus conference, this guide enables physicians to recognize, diagnose and treat patients suffering from occupational asthma (OA). Contents: definitions of OA; identification and diagnosis of OA; establishing the occupational nature (identification of the causal agent, spirometric testing, immunological investigations, measuring of non-specific bronchial hyperreactivity, specific bronchial provocation testing); evolution and prognosis; compensation. A table summarizes the approach for the diagnosis of OA. See also CIS 03-644. |
