Abstract:
In all of 11 observed patients with bakers' asthma, coughing preceded the development of dyspnea. Seventeen coughing atopic patients working in a bakery were observed for 2 years and treated with ketotifen and disodium cromoglycate (DSCG). Four of the patients developed asthma. Ketotifen prevented coughing attacks but did not prevent asthma development. Bronchodilators interrupted cough attacks. DSCG was ineffective.
