Recent systematic reviews of long-term follow-up studies of workers with occupational asthma indicated that reduction of exposure to the causal agent is associated with a lower likelihood of improvement in asthma symptoms and a higher risk of worsening of symptoms and nonspecific bronchial hyper- responsiveness. There are insufficient data to compare the
