Type I allergy in mushroom soup processors.

Eight workers employed in a food manufacturing factory presented with symptoms of rhinorrhoea, dyspnoea and wheezing, originating during the preparation of dried mushroom soup. Five had positive immediate skin tests to dried mushroom extract and in four the FEV1 fell by over 30% following a bronchial challenge with mushroom dust. The features detected were those of a type I allergic response, without evidence of the extrinsic allergic alveolitis described in 'mushroom worker's lung'.

Truncus arteriosus communis associated with mitral valve and left ventricular hypoplasia without ventricular septal defect: unique combination.

A unique case of truncus arteriosus communis associated with mitral valve and left ventricular hypoplasia, but without ventricular septal defect (VSD), is described. The embryology of this anatomy is considered. The neonatal hemodynamics and the clinical implications of this rare combination of defects are discussed.
