Abstract
The proteolytic enzymes of Bromeliaceae (bromelin) are commonly used in pharmaceutical industries, food production and diagnostic laboratories. We report two cases of occupational allergy to bromelin with predominantly respiratory manifestation (allergic bronchial asthma). Obviously sensitisation to bromelin usually takes place due to inhalation and not due to ingestion.
