Abstract:
Hypersensitivity to allergens in tobacco leaf as a cause of occupational asthma in workers of the tobacco manufacturing industry has been reported previously. We describe the case of a female employee working in a tobacco plant with asthmatic symptoms occurring at the working place. The symptoms described by the patient and the strong correlation to periods at work is highly suggestive for an occupational disease. The diagnosis of occupational bronchial asthma is supported by a positive skin test and bronchial provocation test with tobacco dust.
