Two carpenters developed rhinitis, conjunctivitis, bronchial wheezing, and dyspnoea while using obeche (Triplochiton scleroxylon, African maple) at their work while they built saunas. Skin prick tests showed an immediate reaction, specific IgE to obeche was detected in their serum, and bronchial provocation test with obeche gave an immediate reaction with decrease of FEV1 and PEF values. The symptoms disappeared after avoiding the use of obeche. Obeche may cause a health hazard to carpenters who are exposed to this dust and who may develop allergic symptoms after the exposure.
两名木匠在建造桑拿房工作时使用奥贝契木（Triplochiton scleroxylon，非洲枫木）时出现了鼻炎、结膜炎、支气管喘息和呼吸困难。皮肤点刺试验显示即刻反应，血清中检测到对奥贝契木的特异性IgE，用奥贝契木进行支气管激发试验产生即刻反应，同时FEV1和PEF值降低。避免使用奥贝契木后症状消失。奥贝契木可能会对接触这种粉尘且接触后可能出现过敏症状的木匠造成健康危害。
