Occupational Asthma and Work-Exacerbated Asthma
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2015Occupational asthma (OA) and work-exacerbated asthma (WEA), collectively known as work-related asthma (WRA), have been recognized as the most prevalent work-related lung diseases in the industrialized world. OA is asthma caused by workplace conditions, and is subdivided into sensitizer-induced (allergic) OA and irritant-induced (nonallergic) OA. WEA is

Occupational and Work-Exacerbated Asthma: Similarities and Differences
Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2007Over the years, there have been tremendous efforts to improve the understanding of occupational asthma (OA), whereas work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) has been somewhat overlooked. The aim of this work is to review the literature, comparing the prevalence of OA and WEA, their clinical and inflammatory characteristics, as well as the work environment of ...

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2012
A task force of the American Thoracic Society has defined work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) as the worsening of asthma caused by conditions at work. Occupational asthma (OA) is asthma that is initiated by occupational exposures in people without prior asthma. In contrast, WEA is asthma (already present or coincident [new onset]) that is worsened because of

Work-Exacerbated Asthma in a Workers' Compensation Population.
Occupational Medicine, 2014Asthma is becoming more prevalent with large numbers of individuals suffering from work-exacerbated asthma.To examine the characteristics of workplace exposures and working days lost in relation to work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) in a workers' compensation population.An analysis of accepted workers' compensation asthma claims in Ontario over a 5-year ...

Chest, 2007
Peak expiratory flow (PEF) monitoring is frequently used to diagnose occupational asthma (OA). The variability of PEF between periods at work and away from work has not been described in workers with work-exacerbated asthma (WEA). We sought to assess and compare the diurnal variability of PEF during periods at and away from work between subjects with ...

Work-exacerbated asthma: an Italian contribution
, 2009 Background: Workplace conditions can contribute to the worsening of asthma. According to recent guidelines, work-exacerbated asthma is related to work and triggered by the permanence in workplace but not induced by them. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of workplace exacerbation of asthma and its impact on work ...

Occupational Asthma and Work-Exacerbated Asthma: Factors Associated With Time to Diagnostic Steps
Chest, 2007Little is known regarding the factors associated with the times for patients' first physician visit, the first physician suspicion of work-related asthma (WRA), and final diagnosis after the onset of WRA symptoms. This study examined individual and work-related factors that are associated with longer times to these diagnostic milestones among groups ...

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2007
To summarize recent findings on work-exacerbated asthma, based on medical literature published during 2005 and the first 10 months of 2006.Although prevalence estimates varied considerably among six recent epidemiologic studies, collectively they contribute to the conclusion that work-exacerbated asthma is common.

Diagnosis and frequency of work-exacerbated asthma among bakers
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2013Work-exacerbated asthma (WEA) is asthma worsened by workplace exposures, although the asthma is not caused by sensitizers in the work environment.To evaluate the frequency of WEA in bakers reporting work-related respiratory symptoms and the usefulness of diagnostic tests in differentiating WEA from occupational asthma (OA).The study group included 393 ...
