Is It Possible To Develop Allergic Reaction To Glue?

Have you heard of people developing allergic reaction to glue used in installing the carpet of new automobiles. The person has decreased immune system, history of legionaries disease, and some form of blood dyscrasia resulting in low red blood count, developed a rare bacteria infection and also pneumonia and unacceptable oxygen levels to the point he is now on oxygen . Has been receiving treatment with antibiotics and steroids .. has had bronchoscopic exam and blood test and cultures... 84 year old white male. It gets better.. comes home from hospital.. then gets sick again requiring another hospitalization. No other new allergy producing items being used. There are two cats in the house, and possible mold issues as they have to use a de humidifier in the downstairs bedrooms, they are seldom down there however.
