TI  - Allergic airway disease caused by methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride in epoxy 
      resin.
PG  - 154-5
AB  - Work-associated rhinitis and asthma occurred in a subject exposed to methyl 
      tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA) used as a curing agent in an epoxy resin 
      system. He displayed bronchial hyperreactivity in provocation with methacholine, 
      as well as skin prick test positivity and specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) serum 
      antibodies, against a conjugate of MTHPA and human serum albumin. Thus, it seems 
      likely that the disease was caused by an IgE-mediated allergy.
