• Description:
  What should a clinician do when they suspect their patient's respiratory symptoms are related to their job? Routinely asking adult patients with new-onset asthma about possible work-related triggers is the initial step in identifying the agents. Once an agent or agents are identified, using the AOEC Exposure Code List to determine if the agent(s) are listed as asthmagens will help further clarify the diagnosis and treatment plan. For more detailed information on the medical literature related to a particular agent, the AOEC maintains reports on the agents that have been reviewed, and these annual reports are available from the AOEC office by request (aoec@aoec.org).
