Work-related rhinitis, which includes work-exacerbated rhinitis and occupational rhinitis, may be two to three times more common than occupational asthma. Both high molecular weight proteins and low molecular weight chemicals have been implicated as causes of occupational rhinitis. A diagnosis is established based on occupational history and, if appropriate, documentation of IgE-mediated sensitization to the causative agent. Management of work-related rhinitis is similar to that of non-work-related rhinitis and includes elimination or reduction of exposure to offending agents combined with pharmacotherapy. If treatment allergens are commercially available, allergen immunotherapy may also be considered if appropriate.
