ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

A delayed asthma reaction occurring several hours after exposure is difficult to diagnose.

AIMS:

To confirm a delayed asthma reaction in five workers following epoxy exposure. CASE REPORT Working conditions with exposure to epoxy encountered at the workplace were reproduced in a challenge chamber. Specific inhalation challenge (SIC) with epoxy was compared to a control challenge. All five cases had delayed a asthma response 6-15 h after epoxy exposure.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our study confirms that SIC is a useful tool in diagnosing delayed asthma response.
