Occupational Rhinitis.

Occupational rhinitis is a frequently underdiagnosed condition that can cause patient morbidity, potentially progress to asthma, and result in economic hardship for both the individual and the workforce. It is important to screen for work-related exposures and have knowledge of high molecular weight and low molecular weight agents in the workplace, as well as common occupational irritants. Having a methodical diagnostic approach, understanding primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention measures, recognizing comorbid disease and utilizing targeted management strategies will, in all likelihood, improve patient outcomes. Challenging cases may require co-management of Allergy with both Primary Care and Occupational Medicine.
