All four employees reported improvement of symptoms on cessation of work in the facilities and consequent withdrawal from exposure. However, when seen at the respiratory clinic, cases 1 and 3 continued to be either mildly symptomatic or were taking medications with continued borderline airways responsiveness, as measured by methacholine challenge test up to 4 and 5 months, respectively, following work cessation. Case 2 continued to have symptoms for \u22653 months after work cessation. Only case 1, however, was seen at repeated visits in the respiratory clinic. One worker participated in a work re-entry trial and experienced profound coughing and chest tightness within an hour of entry, after which, the trial had to be terminated.
