To make a diagnosis Occupational asthma , please note a history of atopy, exposure assessment, immunology (molecular and cellular), photograph and physiology as hipereaktivitas lung bronchus, lung function series, the specific inhalation test is the gold standard. The diagnosis of occupational asthma in principle is to connect the clinical symptoms of asthma in the working environment is therefore a need for a good history and appropriate investigations. Thorough history of what happened in the work environment is essential, such as: when to start work somewhere this time, what the job before at work today, what is done every day, the process of what happens in the workplace, the materials used in the production process and the data material. And that is not less important is the field review by the examiner (doctor) to better understand the field situation. In addition to the history of the workplace, which should also know is about the clinical happening. When the first occurrence of...

To prevent the occurrence of occupational asthma is a medical examination prior to employment, use of protective equipment, monitoring air pollutants in the working environment is highly recommended. If occupational asthma has occurred, then transfer to the outside of the work environment is important. If for some reason can not be moved then it must be the prevention and monitoring of lung function decline. Periodic evaluation of lung function in workers who already suffer from occupational asthma are needed to prevent disability. Clinical asthma will persist until a few years even though the worker has been out of work environment. Medical treatment in patients with occupational asthma such as bronchial asthma in general: Theophylline , a bronchodilator and may suppress neutrophil chemotactic factor. Effectiveness of the two functions above depend on the serum levels of theophylline. Beta agonists , bronchodilators are the most good for the treatment of occupational asthma in com...

Occupational asthma is a respiratory disease characterized by attacks of shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing, which is caused by a variety of materials encountered in the workplace. These symptoms usually occur due to spasm of the muscles lining the airways, so that the airway becomes very narrow. Cause Many substances (allergens, the cause of the symptoms) in the workplace that can cause asthma due to work. The most common are protein molecules (wood dust, grain dust, animal dander, mold particles) or other chemicals (especially diisocyanate). Exact figures of the incidence of asthma because of the work is unknown, but suspected of approximately 20-20% of asthma in industrialized countries was asthma because of the work. The workers who are at high risk for suffering from asthma because of the work is; Plastic workers Metal worker Firing workers Mill worker Workers grain Laboratory workers Woodworker Workers at the pharmaceutical Workers at the detergent factory. Symptoms Symp...

Bronchial asthma  is a disease of the lung inflammation in the airways resulting in airway hiperrespon to various stimuli that can cause constriction of the airways that can arise thorough so shortness of breath that is reversible either spontaneously or with therapy. Etiology Genetic factors Environmental factors Materials allergens Respiratory tract infections (especially viruses) Air pollution Food Factor Trigger factors Allergens Physical Chemicals Infection Mechanical factors Psychological factors Pathogenesis The entry of allergens into the airway will cause a reaction between the allergen with immunoglobulin E. The release of materials from mastosit mediators, which cause the inflammation in the bronchial mucosa and submucosa causing bronchial smooth muscle contraction. Pathology Infiltration of inflammatory cells such as eosinophils, neutrophils, and other airway epithelial damage, resulting in expenditures as well as mediators and thickening of the mucosal and submucosal e...
