[Occupational asthma in the rural environment].
Occupational asthma is frequent among farmers. Allergens, physio-pathological mechanisms and respiratory disorders are varied. Medico-legal problems (diagram n. 45 of occupational diseases) are recalled. The authors then describe the main allergens (plants, animals and chemical substances) they have met among farmers. Finally, some special aspects that depend on the occupation are discussed.
