  • Title: Dermatological powder as hidden cause of occupational allergy due to casein: a case report.
    Author: Bonadonna P, Senna G, Passalacqua G.
    Journal: Occup Environ Med; 2003 Aug; 60(8):609-10. PubMed ID: 12883025.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of occupational asthma due to hidden casein, contained in a dermatological powder. A 44 year old nurse reported the recent onset of rhinitis and asthma, clearly related to the work environment. Skin tests for food allergens revealed a positivity for milk proteins. The source of dispersed milk proteins in the work environment was found to be a dermatological formulation of an inert refreshing powder, used to treat excoriated areas in the elderly. Skin prick tests confirmed the positivity to casein and to the commercial product.
