title: [Asthma to green coffee of environmental origin].
abstract: A case of rhinitis and environmental asthma caused by unroasted coffee has been reported in an adolescent living in a building in which there is an installation for roasting coffee. The diagnosis, suggested by the case history, is confirmed by the presence of specific IgE, by the positive result of the skin test using unroasted coffee extract and also of a broncho-provocation test entailing the manipulation of dust from the coffee roasting room. An amelioration of the room and work conditions is recommended.
