Abstract
Work-exacerbated asthma was diagnosed in 16% of bakers who reported allergic respiratory symptoms. The specific challenge test for occupational allergens should be performed in bakers with suspected work-related asthma, because an assessment of sensitization (SPT to occupational allergens, evaluation of specific IgE) is not specific enough to differentiate OA from WEA.
