title: [Principles for assessment and diagnosis of work-related pulmonary and pleural diseases].
abstract: Proposals for diagnostic methods and clinical evaluation of occupational lung and pleural diseases have been worked out by a Working Group appointed by the Norwegian Thoracic Society and the Norwegian Society of Occupational Medicine. The management of this group of diseases demands both an evaluation of occupational exposure and a specific pulmonary diagnosis. Recommendations were made especially for obstructive, interstitial, and malignant diseases.
