[Occupational activities and allergic respiratory manifestations].
The authors review aspects of occupational asthma that are important for the practitioner. Insurance problems are dealt with in the light of local regulations. Detailed chapters are devoted to baker's asthma (various aeroallergens), to plastic workers and painters (isocyanates) and to respiratory diseases among farmers. Finally, a list of other occupations in which asthma typically occurs is given. The responsibility of practitioners in charge of young patients about to choose their future profession is underlined.
