A case of a 35 year-old female nurse without atopic disposition is presented. For one year (1990-1991), she worked in an emergency room, applying synthetic casts containing MDI 0-3 times daily. She developed rhinitis, itchy eyes and nightly wheezing, during employment in the emergency room, with subsequent serious asthma attacks in 1992 and 1996. Just before the last attack, the patient's husband had used insulation foam containing MDI. A specific bronchial provocation test was performed with MDI-based synthetic cast material. The patient developed an asthma attack after seven hours, with a 48% drop in FEV1, suggesting that MDI is the causative agent.
