| Abstract |
A woman exposed to TDI working in a plant producing polyester-resin/fibrous reinforced plastic fixtures reacted negatively to tests for p-tolyl isocyanate IgE antibodies and leukocyte inhibition factor for isocyanate antigen. Methacholine challenges were negative even when symptoms were at a maximum. Airway response to TDI may not always be accompanied by methacholine hyperreactivity. |
