A near-death asthmatic reaction was induced by disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) as evidenced by positive skin and inhalation provocation tests. The patient's history revealed an episode of exacerbation by inhalation of DSCG. In spite of such an experience, he inhaled DSCG for relief of asthmatic attack, resulting in near-death exacerbation. This patient emphasizes the need to re-recognize that DSCG is not a reliever and the DSCG could cause fatal asthma.
