title: [Occupationally-induced formaldehyde allergy of the immediate type].
abstract: An autopsy assistant developed respiratory distress at his job after four years of work on post-mortems. His symptoms commenced immediately upon entering the work rooms. Diagnosis was confirmed by positive medical history, skin tests and RAST investigations, all of which taken together gave proof of occupationally induced asthma of anaphylactic origin (Type I reaction).
