Abstract
We report a case of occupational asthma due to barley grain dust, species Hordeum Vulgare L, in a 32-year-old storeman of a trading company's department that dealt with packaging of flour, barley and peanuts. He developed immediate symptoms of sneezing, cough and dyspnoea on exposure to barley only. These symptoms showed work relationship. He became asymptomatic after his transfer to another department dealing with sales only. Bronchial provocation testing to the barley confirmed the diagnosis.
