Abstract
We describe a case of occupational rhinitis and asthma in a 46-year-old carpenter who presented nasal and bronchial symptoms after cedrorana (Cedrelinga catenaeformis Ducke) wood dust exposure. Skin prick tests with a battery of common allergens and different kinds of wood, were positive to cedrorana and grass pollen and negative to the other wood extracts. Nasal provocation and exposure challenge tests with Cedrorana wood dust also gave a positive reaction. IgE-immunoblotting showed two bands of 45 and 78 kDa
respectively. This is the first reported case of occupational rhinitis and asthma due to Cedrorana wood dust where an IgE mediated mechanism has been found.
Resumen. Describimos un caso de rinitis y asma ocupacional en un carpintero de 46 años de edad que presentaba síntomas nasales y bronquiales tras la exposición al polvo de madera de Cedrorana (Cedrelinga catenaeformis
Ducke). Las pruebas cutáneas, mediante prick-test, con una batería de alérgenos comunes y distintos extractos de madera,fueron positivas frente al extracto de Cedrorana y al polen de gramíneas, siendo negativas para el resto de las maderas. La provocación nasal y el test de exposición con el polvo de madera de Cedrorana fueron positivos. El Inmunoblotting reveló dos bandas de 45 y 78 kDa respectivamente. Este es el primer caso descrito de rinitis y asma ocupacional debido al polvo de madera de Cedrorana, donde se ha encontrado un mecanismo mediado por IgE.
