BACKGROUND
Obeche wood dust is a known cause of occupational asthma where an IgE-mediated mechanism has been demonstrated.
OBJECTIVE
To characterize the allergenic profile of obeche wood dust and evaluate the reactivity of the proteins by in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo assays in carpenters with
BACKGROUND
Anaphylaxis after the first exposure to a food allergen is uncommon unless a cross-reaction is present.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate a possible relationship between the fruit Cyphomandra betacea Sendth (commonly known as tamarillo) and the wood of Triplochiton scleroxylon (obeche) in a
Two carpenters developed rhinitis, conjunctivitis, bronchial wheezing, and dyspnoea while using obeche (Triplochiton scleroxylon, African maple) at their work while they built saunas. Skin prick tests showed an immediate reaction, specific IgE to obeche was detected in their serum, and bronchial
The inhalation of wood dust may produce allergic rhinitis, asthma, or contact dermatitis in sensitized patients. We describe a patient with occupational asthma induced by the inhalation of samba (Triplochiton scleroxylon) wood dust. A specific bronchial provocation test was conducted, and the
OBJECTIVE
Wood dust is a known occupational allergen that may induce, in exposed workers, respiratory diseases including asthma and allergic rhinitis. Samba (obeche, Triplochiton scleroxylon) is a tropical tree, which grows in West Africa, therefore, Polish workers are rarely exposed to it. This
The biological effect of exposure to wood dust depends on its composition and the content of microorganisms which are an inherent element of the dust. The irritant and allergic effects of wood dust have been recognised for a long time. The allergic effect is caused by the wood dust of subtropical
