title: [Bronchial asthma due to Stronger Neo-Minophagen C].
abstract: A 24-year-old woman who visited our hospital because of urticaria had a bronchial asthma attack about 5 min. after receiving Stronger Neo-Minophagen C (SNMC) intravenously. A skin test for SNMC and its components (glycyrrhizin, L-cystein, aminoacetic acid, and sodium sulfite) was positive for SNMC and borderline for sodium sulfite after 15 min. A skin test for mixtures of L-cystein and sodium sulfite was also positive. Inhalation provocation tests for SNMC and mixtures of L-cystein and sodium sulfite were positive after 5 min. An inhalation provocation test for sulpyrin was also positive. The patient's bronchial asthma attack was ascribed to SNMC. Type I allergy to mixtures of L-cystein and sodium sulfite was the suspected cause.
