Abstrakt		Clinical history is not adequate for the diagnosis of occupational asthma. We need to perform objective lung function testing in order to document the variability and/or reversibility of airflow obstruction. This can be done by serial measurement of PEF and/or FEVI or bronchial provocation tests (metacholine and specific provocation tests). The appropriate timing for these tests during the symptomatic phase at work and after a period off work provides a clue to a correct diagnosis.
Izvleček		Anamneza je za postavitev diagnoze poklicne astme premalo. Potrebno je dokazati variabilnost in/ali reverzibilnost obstrukcije, to pa je možno le s serijskimi meritvami pretoka zraka (na primer PEF ali FEVI) ali z bronhialnimi provokacijskimi testi (metaholinski test, specifični provokacijski testi). Kombinacija izbranih preiskav v času simptomatike ob delu na delovnem mestu in v času odstranitve iz tega okolja nam pri postavitvi diagnoze najbolj pomaga.
