Occupational sensitization to lactase is reported in workers formulating and packaging this consumer product, which is used for the relief of gastrointestinal symptoms caused by intolerance to lactose. Allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and some cases of asthma were noted. There was suggestive evidence that atopic individuals may be at greater risk of sensitization. Lactase should be added to the list of potential occupational respiratory sensitizers.
据报道，在配制和包装这种用于缓解乳糖不耐受引起的胃肠道症状的消费品的工人中，存在对乳糖酶的职业性致敏情况。观察到了过敏性鼻炎、结膜炎以及一些哮喘病例。有提示性证据表明，特应性个体可能有更高的致敏风险。乳糖酶应被列入潜在的职业性呼吸道致敏原清单。
