Abstract | Occupational asthma is one of the most frequent occupational lung disease. It is defined as asthma due to causes and conditions attributable to a particular working environment. The work history is the clue to the diagnosis. The diagnosis should be confirmed by objective means, essentially by serial measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) or forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), serial monitoring of nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness or by specific bronchial challenges. Cessation of exposure is the primary treatment for occupational asthma. The aim of this article is to present the more recent aspects on occupational asthma. | |
Summary | Poklicna astma je ena najpogostejših poklicnih bolezni pljuč. Definirana je kot astma, ki jo povzročajo dejavniki in okoliščine, značilne za določeno delovno okolje. Za postavitev diagnoze poklicne astme je kljjučnega pomena dobra delovna anamneza. Diagnoza mora biti potrjena tudi z objektivnimi metodami, kot so serijske meritve največjega pretoka izdihanega zraka (PEF) oziroma forsiranega ekspiratornega volumna v prvi sekundi izdiha (FEV1), s serijskimi meritvami nespecifične bronhialne preodzivnosti (NBP) ali s specifičnimi bronhialnimi provokacijskimi testi. Prenehanje izpostavljenosti je primarni ukrep pri zdravljenju poklicne astme. Namen članka je predstaviti novejše poglede na poklicno astmo. | |
