  • Title: Bronchial reactions to western red cedar (Thuja plicata).
    Author: Chan-Yeung M, Barton GM, McLean L, Grzybowski S.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1971 Jul 10; 105(1):56-8 passim. PubMed ID: 5088476.
    Abstract:
    The clinical features and the results of investigations (including immunological tests) of three patients with asthma due to western red cedar are described. Bronchial provocation tests with extract of this wood produced immediate asthmatic reaction in one patient, late asthmatic and peripheral reactions in another and late asthmatic reaction alone in the third. While mild immediate skin reactions were detected in two patients, no late skin reactions were observed. Serum precipitins to this extract were not detected. An attempt was made to identify the responsible allergen in the red cedar extract.
