Abstract
The aim of this article was to address common clinical questions pertaining to work-related asthma (WRA). This review is based on a presentation on WRA at the American College of Chest Physicians Course on Clinical Aspects of Occupational and Environmental Lung Disease, held in Toronto in 2013, and supplemented by a PubMed search of publications to 2013. Seven clinical questions are addressed in relation to definitions, causes, diagnosis, management and emerging triggers, and challenges of WRA. Although knowledge is expanding in this area, there remain challenges and uncertainties, particularly in the prevention of WRA.
