Asthme par inhalation de fumées de cuisson de crevettes

Abstract

We report a case of allergic asthma induced by professional exposure to shrimp cooking vapors in a 19-year-old patient. The patient's medical history revealed an anaphylactic shock seven years ago caused by ingestion of fish food. The diagnosis of asthma induced by seafood cooking vapors is based on clinical history and the positivity of the allergy work-up. Complete eviction of shrimps and redeployment resulted in clinical improvement.
