[Occupational asthma due to para-tert-butylphenol: case report]. 1982

G Brugnami, and A Siracusa, and R Volpi, and A R Comodi

In a chemical industry worker with a history of work-related breathlessness, a bronchial provocation test with para-tert-butylphenol (PTBP) elicited a dual asthmatic reaction. As far as we know, this is the first documentation of occupational asthma due to PTBP. Previously PTBP has been associated with occupational leucoderma.
