  • Title: Case of occupational asthma due to glue containing cyanoacrylate.
    Author: Chan CC, Cheong TH, Lee HS, Wang YT, Poh SC.
    Journal: Ann Acad Med Singap; 1994 Sep; 23(5):731-3. PubMed ID: 7847755.
    Abstract:
    Cyanoacrylates are a rare cause of occupational asthma, there being only six cases reported previously. High humidity has been implicated to be protective in the pathogenesis of the asthma. This is a case report of occupational asthma due to cyanoacrylate glue after working three years in a factory manufacturing doors. Diagnosis was made by history, serial peak flow measurements on and off work and specific inhalation challenge which elicited a delayed bronchoconstrictive response. An unusual feature of this case was the positive reaction to cyanoacrylate despite the high ambient humidity in Singapore.
