Asthma caused by occupational exposure to vanadium compounds

The Medical Journal of Australia
A W Musk, J G Tees

Abstract

Four workers from a recently established vanadium pentoxide refinery in Western Australia presented with green discoloration of the tongue, upper respiratory symptoms, and asthma. Three of them were non-atopic as judged by history, prick skin test responses, and total serum IgE levels. The two with most recent exposure to vanadium compounds exhibited bronchial hyperreactivity to histamine. Vanadium compounds appear to be capable of inducing asthma in previously normal subjects. One subject continued to wheeze eight weeks after this last exposure.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
