title: [A case of asthma due to maleic anhydride (author's transl)].
abstract: On the basis of a case of asthma due to maleic anhydride, a description is given of occupational asthma due to anhydrides, the physiopathology of which is similar to that related to isocyanates. In contrast to the latter, this disorder is not listed amongst occupational diseases, which should not prevent action by the occupational health physician.
