    Author: Airaksinen L, Toskala E.
    Journal: Duodecim; 2011; 127(18):1929-33. PubMed ID: 22034730.
    Abstract:
    In the examinations of recurrent or chronic rhinitis, important aspect is whether the rhinitis symptoms and work are related. Dusts, fumes, smoke, vapours and smells at work can all cause nasal irritation or rhinitis. Occupational rhinitis (OR) means that rhinitis is mainly caused by work. OR is usually IgE-mediated allergic rhinitis, and rarely caused by other mechanisms. The crucial tasks in the examination of work-related rhinitis are description of the job, its allergens and irritants, and performing relevant allergy testing and nasal examinations to exclude other causes of rhinitis. The main focus in management of OR is to avoid further exposure.
