Sažetak

Ventilatory capacity was studied in nine coffee workers who complained of job-related respiratory symptoms. Bronchoprovocation testing with green coffee allergen provoked immediate asthmatic reactions with acute reductions of ventilatory capacity in four workers. The relative fall was greater in FEF25-75, ranging from 28% to 66% than in FEV1 where it ranged from 18% to 62% of the control values. Eight workers out of nine had increased total IgE serum levels and six showed a positive reaction to prick testing with green coffee allergen. According to our data bronhchoprovocation with green coffee allergen along with skin tests and immunoglobulin levels can serve as indicator of the sensitivity of the respiratory system to green coffee dust.
