Irritant Induced Asthma and Rads
نویسنده
چکیده
A single high exposure of a person to an irritant chemical by inhalation, typically as an accidental incident involving a gas or vapour, can mean they run the risk of developing a type of asthma called reactive airways dysfunction syndrome or RADS. These people have irritable bronchial tubes and this hypersensitive state may last for some years. In many cases (although not all) it is much more resistant to treatment than conventional asthma but is a relatively rare condition; fewer than one in a thousand of all cases of asthma starting in adulthood are RADS. The condition has not been reported in children.

The best example of irritant induced occupational asthma is reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which is usually unregarded. We present a 29-year-old security guard from an Iranian car manufacturing company who was exposed to heavy smoke during a fire in work place in five years ago. He was referred because of his persistent asthma like symptoms after that accident to determin the acco...
متن کاملIrritant-Induced Asthma and Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS)
Irritant-induced asthma affects about one-fifth of workers with the diagnosis of 'occupational asthma'. There are believed to be two types of irritant-induced asthma. Single exposure-type of irritant-induced asthma occurs when a person inhales a very high concentration of an irritant gas, vapor or fume to manifest newly-developed asthma symptoms plus nonspecific airway hyperresponsiveness withi...

Reactive airway dysfunction syndrome (RADS) is a variant of irritant-induced asthma that develops in subjects without prior bronchoobstructive disease, following high-level exposure to nonimmunogenic irritants. Recommended maintenance treatment for RADS is not different from asthma. But in some cases, severe symptoms may persist despite the bronchodilators and corticosteroids. We describe the f...
متن کاملReactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS). Persistent asthma syndrome after high level irritant exposures.
Ten individuals developed an asthma-like illness after a single exposure to high levels of an irritating vapor, fume, or smoke. In most instances, the high level exposure was the result of an accident occurring in the workplace or a situation where there was poor ventilation and limited air exchange in the area. In all cases, symptoms developed within a few hours and often minutes after exposur...
