Zusammenfassung:	Martin JA, Compaired JA, dc la Hoz B, Quirce S, Alonso MD, Igca JM, Losada E. Bronchial asthma induced by chick pea and lentil. Allergic reactions to legumes through inhalation have rarely been described. We report the case of a 20‐year‐old man who experienced asthmatic attacks when exposed to the steam from cooking either chick pea or lentil. Type I hypersensitivity to the antigens in these legumes was demonstrated by means of immediate skin reactivity, histamine release tests, RAST and RAST inhibition. Specific bronchial challenges with the heated (75° for 30 min) extracts of chick pea and lentil elicited isolated immediate responses.
