Supreme Court held that asthma diagnosed later cannot be considered the same disease as previously compensated occupational allergic rhinitis.

The Supreme Court dismissed the claim to treat later-diagnosed asthma as the same disease as previously compensated allergic rhinitis caused by dust mites. The applicant argued that the two conditions were medically identical, but the court found distinct clinical differences between allergic rhinitis and asthma. Consequently, the compensation for the original occupational disease did not extend to the subsequent respiratory condition.
