Abstract

Wheat is one of the fundamental sources of food worldwide. Baker’s asthma and occupational rhinitis are both frequent and can be attributable to work exposure in bakers. However, the association between baker’s asthma and wheat allergy is very rare. The authors report the case of a bakery worker who developed baker’s asthma and occupational rhinitis after years of working in a bakery and later developed anaphylactic reactions after wheat ingestion.

Keywords

Occupational asthma, rhinitis, anaphylaxis, food hypersensitivity.

Resumo

O trigo é uma das fontes alimentares mais importantes em todo o mundo. A asma do padeiro e a rinite ocupacional são frequentes e podem ser atribuídas à exposição a farinhas em padeiros. No entanto, a associação entre asma do padeiro e alergia alimentar ao trigo é muito rara. Os autores descrevem um caso em que um trabalhador de panificação desenvolveu asma do padeiro e rinite ocupacional após anos trabalhando em uma padaria, e posteriormente desenvolveu reações anafiláticas após a ingestão de trigo.

Palavras-chave

Asma ocupacional, rinite, anafilaxia, hipersensibilidade alimentar.
