| Abstract |
Case report of sensitisation, manifested as constant irritation of the eyes and as a reduction in respiratory function (peak-flow levels dropped from weekend values of 400l/min to 300l/min during the work week), in a hospital nurse with steady exposure to glutaraldehyde, a commonly used disinfectant. After exposure ceased, the reduction in respiratory function disappeared. |
