Occupational asthma caused by α-amylase inhalation: Clinical and immunologic findings and bronchial response patterns

Inhalation of dust from different enzymes can be the cause of occupational asthma in exposed workers, α-Amylase, derived from Aspergillus oryzae, is one of these enzymes, although there are few studies in the medical literature that refer to its allergologic properties and to clinical studies in sen...

description Inhalation of dust from different enzymes can be the cause of occupational asthma in exposed workers, α-Amylase, derived from Aspergillus oryzae, is one of these enzymes, although there are few studies in the medical literature that refer to its allergologic properties and to clinical studies in sensitized patients. The results obtained in a study performed in 83 pharmaceutical-industry workers exposed to powdered α-amylase are described in this article. The existence of sensitization to this enzyme was demonstrated in 26 of the workers by positive skin tests. Specific IgE values were significantly higher in workers with positive skin tests than in workers with negative skin tests ( p
