    El asma ocupacional es aquel que tiene relación con la exposición laboral. Se trata de la enfermedad respiratoria laboral más frecuente en los países desarrollados, correspondiendo al 25% del total de los casos de asma. El asma ocupacional puede generarse por un mecanismo inmunológico o no, influyendo además diferentes factores de riesgo que aumentan la probabilidad de padecerla, como el tabaco, la atopia y factores genéticos. Resulta de vital importancia el diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz, para que así el pronóstico sea favorable.

    Occupational asthma is related to occupational exposure. It is the most common occupational respiratory disease in developed countries, accounting for 25% of all asthma cases. Occupational asthma may or may not be caused by an immunological mechanism and may also be influenced by different risk factors that increase the likelihood of suffering from it, such as tobacco, atopy and genetic factors. Early diagnosis and treatment are of vital importance to ensure a favourable prognosis.
