We describe occupational allergy to castor bean in workers in a felt manufacturing plant. Twenty-six (37%) of the workers complained they were affected by the felt and were examined by us. Of these, 12 were considered to have occupational allergy. These 12 subjects had raised specific IgE levels to both felt and castor bean extracts. In addition, three subjects without occupational allergy had raised specific IgE. The presence of castor bean allergens in the felt was suggested by the correlation between the RAST scores to the felt and castor bean and confirmed by RAST inhibition experiments. The RAST results correlated well with the results of skin prick tests to felt and castor bean extracts. In addition it was found that atopy did not predispose the workers to castor bean allergy.
我们描述了一家毛毡制造厂工人对蓖麻子的职业性过敏情况。26名（37%）工人抱怨他们受到毛毡影响并接受了我们的检查。其中，12人被认为患有职业性过敏。这12名受试者对毛毡和蓖麻子提取物的特异性IgE水平均升高。此外，3名无职业性过敏的受试者特异性IgE也升高。对毛毡和蓖麻子的RAST评分之间的相关性提示毛毡中存在蓖麻子过敏原，并通过RAST抑制试验得到证实。RAST结果与对毛毡和蓖麻子提取物的皮肤点刺试验结果相关性良好。此外还发现，特应性并不会使工人易患蓖麻子过敏。
