[Occupational asthma caused by azodicarbonamide: clinical case]. 1985

M Valentino, and M Comai

A case of asthma due to a plastic blowing agent - azodicarbonamide - is discussed. Administration of disodium cromoglycate before exposure decreases the grade of bronchoconstriction: we suggest an immunopathological mechanism involved in the asthma.
