The persistence of allergen exposure favors pulmonary function decline in workers with allergic occupational asthma
2012
Background
In asthmatics, a rapid decline in pulmonary function is observed, likely as a consequence of airways remodeling. Persistence of allergen exposure in patients with occupational asthma (OA) maintains chronic bronchial inflammation, resulting in a more severe lung function decline. Few studies were performed on the effects of allergen exposure cessation.
