Abstract

The A.A studied the bronchial reactivity of 309 subjects accusing a working respiratory disease. It had been valued the utility of specific provocation bronchial test for diagnosis of allergic bronchopneumopathies. The test, performed with working antigens pool, not only confirms the low percentage of allergic respiratory disease among considered workers (joiners, painters and millers) it also shows its sensibility only in subjects with a sure story of bronchial asthma. The A.A. say, that it's not really necessary to perform the test in all subjects that submit to diagnostic screening for industrial insurance reasons.
