Occupational rhinitis, a work-related nasal condition, is diagnosed through history, physical exams, and specific tests. Management involves environmental controls and medication to alleviate symptoms and improve work efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • Occupational rhinitis is a common yet often overlooked condition.
  • It presents as work-related sneezing, nasal discharge, and obstruction, frequently co-occurring with asthma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define occupational rhinitis.
  • To classify its causes.
  • To review diagnostic steps and management principles.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review of MEDLINE articles (1970-2001) and relevant bibliographies.
  • Expert opinion was used for article selection.

Main Results:

  • Occupational rhinitis stems from heightened olfactory awareness, nasal inflammation, chemical irritants, or IgE mechanisms.

  • Diagnosis relies on patient history, physical examination, and potentially, site visits, skin/serologic testing, nasal challenges, and rhinomanometry.
  • Management includes non-pharmacologic (environmental control) and pharmacologic interventions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Occupational rhinitis causes significant discomfort and reduced work efficiency.
    • Effective management through environmental and medical interventions can resolve symptoms.
