Interesting case reports on amylase include a double sensitization to lysozyme and amylase in a baker with rhinoconjunctivitis and asthma [135], a sensitization occuring from infrequent contact with the enzyme in a lab technician showing symptoms localized on her hands without nasal or respiratory effects [136] , and one case of occupational allergic contact urticaria from fungal but not bacterial alpha-amylase [137] . In-silico work: n/a Allergens of a similar class outside of food and feed area: n/a Other routes of exposure: Kanerva et al [163] described the case of a chemical enzyme factory process operator presenting symptoms of itching and dermatitis. ./cache/cord-022910-kjs6je2u.txt ./txt/cord-022910-kjs6je2u.txt
