Summary: Although occupational rhinitis are recognised to be more frequent than occupational asthma, only a few studies concerning their prevalence have been performed. Etiologies and professional sectors concerned are similar as in occupational asthma and the new concept of “one airway one disease” should incite medical community to take more care of this problem. With an earlier diagnosis and treatment, it could reduce significantly the occupational asthma incidence which medical and social consequences are both more serious. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
