Abstract

This article shows an overview of occupational diseases. You can find a lot of these diseases in family practice. For treatment of occupational diseases specialists can be consulted. It is a big challenge to detect diseases caused by work influence. This is what you should do: inquire specifically about newly diagnosed illness after work. Ask about the current occupation and previous occupational activities. Already report the suspicion of an occupational disease to the competent authority. For every occupational disease, there is a leaflet with scientific basics, explanation of occupational stress and its impact on the body. Remedies and aids may not be prescribed by family doctors at the expense of the statutory health insurance.

Wir Hausärzte profitieren von der gelebten Anamnese. Hier existiert ein guter Überblick zur Berufsanamnese, die ja z. B. beim Erstellen einer Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung regelmäßig mit erfragt werden soll. Allerdings ist es mitunter eine Herausforderung, in der hausärztlichen Sprechstunde mögliche Berufskrankheiten zu vermuten oder zu erkennen. Welche Krankheitsbilder kommen öfter vor, und was ist bei Verdacht zu tun?
