Abstract

A worker with occupational exposure to nickel developed asthma a few months after starting work. Skin prick tests to nickel sulphate were negative. Inhalation challenge with nickel sulphate, at a concentration of 10 mg/ml for 30 min induced a late asthmatic reaction, starting 3 hr after the end of exposure leading to severe nocturnal attack. Tests for antibodies with nickel reactivity were negative.
