Area of Science:

  • Occupational medicine
  • Allergology
  • Pulmonology

Context:

  • Occupational asthma diagnosis relies on integrating diverse data sources.
  • Patient history, atopic status, and workplace exposure patterns are crucial.
  • Identifying specific allergens requires careful consideration of various testing modalities.

Purpose:

  • To outline the diagnostic process for occupational asthma.
  • To highlight the roles of different tests, including history, skin tests, and lung function.
  • To emphasize the importance of specific bronchial provocation tests for etiological diagnosis.

Summary:

  • Occupational asthma diagnosis integrates history, cutaneous tests, biological tests, respiratory function tests, and bronchial hyperreactivity tests.
  • Cutaneous tests aid in identifying IgE-mediated asthma from animal or vegetable allergens.
