title: [Occupational asthma].
abstract: The work-related asthma is a disease that is frequently reported in other countries, but little recognized in our own despite the large number of workers at risk. The lack of knowledge about its etiology at work involves a mishandling and poor outcome of the patient, because its treatment requires the removal of worker of exposure at work or at least this fall. The definitive diagnosis involves specialized medical procedures that are difficult to access and workplace studies that establish at first line the diagnosis of asthma and the work as cause of the disease or its aggravation. Health workers surveillance and compliance with work regulations are strategies that should be promoted prevention of asthma at work.
