Abstract:
Mukali (Aningeria robusta) is an exotic wood from the Sapotaceae family. We describe the case of a 31-year-old woman who developed bronchial asthma and contact urticaria after occupational exposure to mukali. A positive immediate response was observed in the skin prick test, bronchial challenge and the rubbing test performed with a mukali wood extract. We suggest that an IgE-mediated immunological mechanism could explain these findings. Our case report identifies another wood dust capable of inducing occupational asthma.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
