Abstract
|
|
|
|
Reactive airway dysfunction syndrome (RADS) is a clinical entity characterized by sudden onset of obstructive airway disorder and nonspecific airway hyperresponsiveness after exposure to a toxic or irritant chemical with negative history of obstructive airway symptoms prior to exposure. After exposure to high concentrations of irritating substances, obstructive symptoms are usually persistent. Causative substances are nonspecific and various. The exact mechanism of this dysfunction remains to be elucidated. We report a case of RADS which presented with dyspnea elicited by smoking insecticide of cockroach containing dichlorvos as a main ingredient.
