Abstract

The current national surveillance system for occupational illnesses underestimates the incidence of work-related asthma. This article describes a state-based surveillance system for work-related asthma. The Michigan surveillance system enables us to estimate the incidence of work-related asthma, describe the characteristics of affected individuals, and facilitate public health interventions in the form of workplace inspections. The data presented are based on interviews with a case-series of individuals with work-related asthma reported to the Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH) from 1988 to 1994. We also present cross-sectional data on coworkers of the index cases, who were interviewed during the workplace investigations, and exposure measurements from those investigations. Potential cases were reported by physicians, hospitals, or the Michigan Department of Labor. Case eligibility was based on the criteria for work-related asthma developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Between 1988 and 1994, 725 people who met the NIOSH criteria for work-related asthma were reported to the MDPH. Seventy-six percent of the reports were from physicians, 17.1% were from hospitals, 7.3% were from wo...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
