| Abstract |
Case study of 3 workers in the textile printing industry who developed bronchial asthma. The workers' job involved touching up the printing frame using polyurethane paints containing low levels (below 0.7%) of tolylene diisocyanate (TDI). The symptoms and clinical diagnostic signs of the asthma were similar to those of TDI asthma in other industries. Diagnosis was on the basis of clinical examination and the specific bronchial challenge test. The airways reaction was non-immediate. |
