- Abstract
The article presents a medical case of 53-year old baker who is suffering from asthma. Respiratory symptoms were improved when the baker was away from work on holiday but worsened once he returned to work. Despite the daily administration of high dose medicine, the patient suffered constantly from respiratory symptoms during work. Later the baker was given therapy with omalizumab and no asthmatic symptoms were reported even without any changes in the working process.
