We report a case of occupational asthma due to barley grain dust, species Hordeum Vulgare L, in a 32-year-old storeman of a trading company's department that dealt with packaging of flour, barley and peanuts. He developed immediate symptoms of sneezing, cough and dyspnoea on exposure to barley only. These symptoms showed work relationship. He became asymptomatic after his transfer to another department dealing with sales only. Bronchial provocation testing to the barley confirmed the diagnosis.
我们报告一例职业性哮喘病例,病因是一名32岁的贸易公司部门仓库管理员接触了大麦粉尘(大麦属普通大麦种),该部门负责面粉、大麦和花生的包装。他仅在接触大麦时就出现了打喷嚏、咳嗽和呼吸困难的即时症状。这些症状显示出与工作有关。在他调至另一个仅负责销售的部门后,症状消失。对大麦进行的支气管激发试验确诊了该病例。
