When teenagers start jobs: what does the clinician need to know?

Symposium
Chairs: F. Kauffmann (Villejuif, France), K. Radon (Munich, Germany)
Aims: Asthma is the most common occupational respiratory disease that may already affect teenagers during their apprenticeship. Children with suppurative and neuromuscular diseases are nowadays able to enter the workforce, with new challenges to the respiratory physicians coaching these adolescents. The symposium will help the clinician as well as the epidemiologist to get an overview of the recent findings on occupational allergy asthma and neuromuscular and suppurative diseases in teenagers. From this, they will be able to better advise patients with respect to job selection and intervention strategies.
