Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Background:

  • Asthma affects 18% globally; occupational asthma accounts for 5-25% of adult-onset cases.
  • Occupational asthma is defined by workplace exposure to dust, vapors, or fumes, with or without prior diagnosis.
  • Limited data exists on occupational asthma in Mexico.

Observation:

  • A case series of 17 patients diagnosed with asthma and occupational exposure was analyzed.
  • Diagnosis of occupational asthma was confirmed by the Allergy and Clinical Immunology Service.
  • Patients presented with exposure to workplace dust, vapors, or fumes.

Findings:

  • The study reports on 17 patients with asthma and occupational exposures.
  • Occupational asthma was identified in patients with specific workplace irritant exposures.
  • This highlights a significant occupational health issue.

Implications:

  • Occupational health is vital for staff performance and preventing adverse health outcomes.
  • Physicians play a key role in preventing, diagnosing, and managing occupational asthma.
  • Addressing occupational asthma is an opportunity to improve workplace health and reduce economic losses.
