Abstract
Employees in different types of work may be intentionally or accidentally exposed to biological agents. Improved risk assessment is needed to identify opportunities to prevent work-related infectious disease. The objective of the current study was to perform a systematic literature review of work-related infectious disease to assist in the identification of occupational infectious disease risks. A literature search of papers on work-related infectious disease published between 1999 and 2008 yielded 1239 papers of which 242 met the selection criteria and were included in the review. The results of the systematic literature review were arranged in a matrix of occupational groups and exposure pathways. Increased risk from infectious diseases appeared to be concentrated in specific professions. Healthcare workers, workers in contact with animals, laboratory workers and refuse workers seem to have the highest risk of infection by a variety of pathogens. However, pathogens reported to be associated with closely related professions were different, indicating qualitative under-reporting. Arranging the results of this systematic review on work-related infectious diseases in a matrix of occupational groups and exposure pathways allowed the reliable identification of exposure hazards for specific occupational groups beyond currently reported diseases.

Improved risk assessment is needed to identify opportunities to prevent work-related infectious disease. The objective of the current study was to perform a systematic literature review of work-related infectious disease to assist in the identification of occupational infectious disease risks. A literature search of papers on work-related infectious disease published between 1999 and 2008 yielded 1239 papers of which 242 met the selection criteria and were included in the review. The results of the systematic literature review were arranged in a matrix of occupational groups and exposure pathways. Increased risk from infectious diseases appeared to be concentrated in specific professions. Healthcare workers, workers in contact with animals, laboratory workers and refuse workers seem to have the highest risk of infection by a variety of pathogens. However, pathogens reported to be associated with closely related professions were different, indicating qualitative under-reporting. Arranging the results of this systematic review on work-related infectious diseases in a matrix of occupational groups and exposure pathways allowed the reliable identification of exposure hazards for specific occupational groups beyond currently reported diseases.</p></abstract><textClass><keywords scheme="keyword"><list><head>keywords</head><item><term>Occupational diseases</term></item><item><term>communicable diseases</term></item><item><term>occupational exposure</term></item><item><term>epidemiology</term></item><item><term>public health</term></item><item><term>disability</term></item><item><term>injury</term></item><item><term>allergy</term></item><item><term>risk assessment</term></item><item><term>retrospective exposure assessment</term></item><item><term>lung function</term></item><item><term>exposure assessment</term></item><item><term>organic dusts</term></item><item><term>construction</term></item><item><term>animal workers</term></item><item><term>agriculture</term></item><item><term>occupational asthma</term></item><item><term>asthma</term></item></list></keywords></textClass></profileDesc><revisionDesc><change when="2011-10-17">Created</change><change when="2012-02">Published</change></revisionDesc></teiHeader></istex:fulltextTEI><json:item><extension>txt</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>text/plain</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/ark:/67375/NVC-55X163MP-8/fulltext.txt</uri></json:item></fulltext><metadata><istex:metadataXml wicri:clean="corpus bmj" wicri:toSee="no header"><istex:xmlDeclaration>version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"</istex:xmlDeclaration><istex:docType PUBLIC="-//NLM//DTD Journal Archiving and Interchange DTD v2.3 20070202//EN" URI="archivearticle.dtd" name="istex:docType"></istex:docType><istex:document><article article-type="review-article"><front><journal-meta><journal-id journal-id-type="hwp">oemed</journal-id><journal-id journal-id-type="nlm-ta">Occup Environ Med</journal-id><journal-id journal-id-type="publisher-id">oem</journal-id><journal-title>Occupational and Environmental Medicine</journal-title><abbrev-journal-title abbrev-type="publisher">Occup Environ Med</abbrev-journal-title><abbrev-journal-title>Occup Environ Med</abbrev-journal-title><issn pub-type="ppub">1351-0711</issn><issn pub-type="epub">1470-7926</issn><publisher><publisher-name>BMJ Publishing Group Ltd</publisher-name></publisher></journal-meta><article-meta><article-id pub-id-type="publisher-id">oemed-2011-100068</article-id><article-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1136/oemed-2011-100068</article-id><article-id pub-id-type="other">oemed;69/2/140</article-id><article-id pub-id-type="other">oemed;oemed-2011-100068</article-id><article-id pub-id-type="pmid">22006935</article-id><article-id pub-id-type="other">140</article-id><article-id pub-id-type="other">oemed-2011-100068</article-id><article-categories><subj-group subj-group-type="heading"><subject>Review</subject></subj-group><series-title>Original article</series-title></article-categories><title-group><article-title>Infectious disease risks associated with occupational exposure: a systematic review of the literature</article-title></title-group><contrib-group><contrib contrib-type="author" corresp="yes"><name><surname>Haagsma</surname><given-names>Juanita A</given-names></name><xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff1">1</xref><xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff2">2</xref></contrib><contrib contrib-type="author"><name><surname>Tariq</surname><given-names>Luqman</given-names></name><xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff3">3</xref></contrib><contrib contrib-type="author"><name><surname>Heederik</surname><given-names>Dick J</given-names></name><xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff4">4</xref></contrib><contrib contrib-type="author"><name><surname>Havelaar</surname><given-names>Arie H</given-names></name><xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff1">1</xref><xref ref-type="aff" rid="aff4">4</xref></contrib></contrib-group><aff id="aff1"><label>1</label>Laboratory for Zoonoses and Environmental Microbiology, Centre for Infectious Disease Control Netherlands, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Bilthoven, The Netherlands</aff><aff id="aff2"><label>2</label>Department of Public Health, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands</aff><aff id="aff3"><label>3</label>Centre for Prevention and Health Services Research, Public Health and Health Services Division, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, Bilthoven, The Netherlands</aff><aff id="aff4"><label>4</label>Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands</aff><author-notes><corresp><label>Correspondence to</label> Dr Juanita A Haagsma, Erasmus Medical Centre, Department of Public Health, P.O.
