Occupational Respiratory Allergies and Gene-environment Interactions

Conditions
Work Related Asthma
Registration Number
NCT02879838
Lead Sponsor
Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Brief Summary

The purpose is to compare clinical, functional, professional and socio-economical characteristics of patients with occupational asthma and work aggravated asthma.

Secondary purposes are:

* to evaluate diagnostic value of new non-invasive techniques such as exhaled nitric oxide and cytology of induced expectoration;

* to estimate medical-social becoming of diagnosed work-related asthma after one year;

* to establish a biobank of blood samples of individuals with work related asthma for measurement of cytokines and search for genetic polymorphisms associated with asthma.

Detailed Description

Participants with work related asthma or suspected work related asthma will obtain a precise diagnosis concerning severity and control of respiratory disorder and also the possible effect of professional environment on the disorder. Their medical care and medico-legal care, in case of recognition of occupational disease, could be ameliorated.

In general, this study will allow the harmonization of diagnostic care and medical, medico-professional and medico-legal management of cases of work related asthma in specialized hospitals.
