The work-related asthma is a disease that is frequently reported in other countries, but little recognized in our own despite the large number of workers at risk. The lack of knowledge about its etiology at work involves a mishandling and poor outcome of the patient, because its treatment requires the removal of worker of exposure at work or at least this fall. The definitive diagnosis involves specialized medical procedures that are difficult to access and workplace studies that establish at first line the diagnosis of asthma and the work as cause of the disease or its aggravation. Health workers surveillance and compliance with work regulations are strategies that should be promoted prevention of asthma at work.
职业性哮喘在其他国家是一种经常被报告的疾病，但在我国尽管有大量处于风险中的工人，却很少得到认可。对其工作病因缺乏了解导致对患者处理不当且预后不佳，因为其治疗需要让工人脱离工作暴露或至少减少暴露。明确诊断涉及难以获得的专业医疗程序以及将哮喘诊断和工作作为疾病病因或其加重因素的一线工作场所研究。卫生工作者监测和遵守工作规定是应推广的预防工作场所哮喘的策略。
