The frequency of occupational allergic rhinitis has grown with the development of new allergens and the prodromic characteristic of occupational asthma. The clinician must carefully assess the often unimpressive symptomatology with a characteristic work/non work cycle. The nasal mucosa is examined rhinoscopically to eliminate a possible tumoural origin. The diagnosis is based on the results of the allergy tests (skin tests, laboratory tests, nasal allergen tests) and on knowledge of the patient's work environment. The diagnosis of occupational rhinitis requires eliminating the allergen(s). A report of an occupational disease is required. In the future, informing atopic subjects early, improving working conditions and modifying industrial techniques should lead to a reduction in the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and occupational pulmonary disease.
