Abstract |
Case study of a man who had developed an acute asthmatic reaction followed by hypersensitivity pneumonitis after occupational exposure to diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), used in the manufacture of polyurethane foam. Challenge testing by MDI and the detection of specific IgG antibodies to various isocyanate-human serum albumin conjugates suggest immunological cross-reactivity between different isocyanates. |
