| Abstract |
The case is reported of a patient exposed to Chloramine T (CT) (used as a disinfectant in stables, kennels, slaughterhouses and animal-transport vehicles) who complained of rhinorrhea and fits of asthma-like dyspnoea when using this substance. A diagnosis of allergic bronchial asthma was made after specific bronchial provocation tests with a demonstration of CT-specific IgE antibodies with the RAST method. The importance of using traditional diagnostic parameters is stressed (specific and non-specific bronchial provocation tests) which can be used together with the determination of specific IgE in vitro. |
