    The occupational asthma is a more common condition than one can suppose. In some developed countries this entity is the most frequent respiratory disease from work origin. This must alert every clinician because an early detection leads to a better handling and a prognosis of the affected individual. In this review, some aspects about its evaluation, treatment and prevention will be discussed.
