Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The management of work-related asthma has some differences from management of other asthma. Components of management include not only making as accurate a diagnosis as possible, identifying the causative agent or triggers at work, and managing the asthma with pharmacologic treatment as for other patients with asthma, but also advising on the appropriate work changes that may be needed, assisting the worker with appropriate compensation claims, and supporting protective measures for coworkers. This article discusses the approaches that may be taken for patients with different forms of work-related asthma.
