title: Occupational asthma in Singapore--a review of cases from 1983 to 1990.
abstract: One of the newer occupational diseases in Singapore is occupational asthma. As on 31 December 1990 there were 35 confirmed cases of occupational asthma in the official statistics on occupational disease. We report in this paper our observations and experience based on these cases. The problem of under-reporting and the importance of early diagnosis are discussed.
