We describe the case of a patient exposed to chloramine-T who experienced severe asthmatic symptoms when spraying chloramine-T solutions. The patient used chloramine-T as a sterilising agent in medical facilities. Occupational asthma due to chloramine-T was diagnosed by means of specific bronchial provocation test (occupational type). We stress the risk of exposure to high levels of chloramine-T and the importance of this compound as a cause of occupational asthma.
