title: [Occupational aziridine asthma in an engineer at a printing office].
abstract: We report on a case of an allergic bronchial asthma of an engineer in a printing office caused by polyfunctional aziridines. The causal relationship between exposure and symptoms could be demonstrated with a specific bronchoprovocation challenge testing. The consequences of the disease are discussed with respect to medical and legal aspects of the system of social security in Germany.
