Abstract

This review updates existing knowledge on occupational rhinitis based on epidemiological and clinical research studies published from 2003 to 2005. The review covers new developments on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, monitoring and management of occupational rhinitis. This article also provides updated information on the prevalence and incidence of both occupational rhinitis and work-related symptoms of rhinitis, as well as on causal agents and personal risk factors associated with this condition. Occupational rhinitis is frequently under-diagnosed due to a lack of physician awareness. Diagnosis is suspected when symptoms occur in relation to work. Differentiating between immunological sensitization and irritation may be difficult. Given the high prevalence of rhinitis in the general population from all causes, objective tests confirming the occupational origin are essential. Measures of inflammatory parameters via nasal lavage and objective assessment of nasal congestion both offer practical means of monitoring responses. Growing experience with acoustic rhinometry and peak nasal inspiratory flow suggests that these methods will have an increasingly important role in monitoring and diagnosing in the future. Recent findings in...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.
