Popis:	Eighty-seven patients with occupational bronchial asthma in the post-exposure period (8.5 years in average) and 105 patients with non-occupational asthma were studied. In 64 % of cases, asthma was induced by high-molecular weight antigens of organic dust of various types. Severe course of the disease and steroid dependence were noted somewhat more often in patients with occupational professional asthma compared to non-occupational one (23 % among men and 30 % among women vs. 21 % and 20 %, respectively). Well-controlled occupational asthma was more often (9.60 % and 4.76 %, respectively) which could be explained by elimination of causative agent, annual examination and treatment in clinics of occupational pathology with further correction of the therapy in outpatient primary care facilities. The authors recommend applying criteria of asthma control to estimate the degree of the patient's disability.
