title: [Occupationally induced sensitization of respiratory airways by animal-hair and animal-dust].
abstract: An occupational sensitization of the respiratory tract caused by hair and dust of laboratory animals (Mastomys natalensis) was reported in 3 persons. Intracutaneous tests confirmed the relationship between the professional activity and the clinical symptoms of an inhalation allergy. The very pronounced reaction to different dust extracts and the special conditions of exposure suggest an occupational sensitization to the dust of laboratory animals.
