An overview of latex allergy, including methods for preventing reactions and reducing exposure to latex, is provided. Latex allergy is a serious medical problem for an increasing number of patients and health care workers. From an institutional perspective, several precautionary procedures need to be followed to ensure safe care for patients and to ...

In the past decade, immediate hypersensitivity to latex has been accepted as a serious problem. The proteins that are present in natural rubber are considered to be the responsible antigens, and the hypersensitivity responses induced include contact and generalized urticaria, angioedema, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, bronchospasm, life threatening ...

Latex allergy continues to be an important medical problem. In this review we re-examine the definition of latex allergy, the offending allergens, the factors that enhance sensitization, the threshold levels that sensitize and elicit reactions in sensitized individuals, current diagnostic techniques, avoidance measures, the barrier properties of ...

Allergy to natural rubber latex affects people routinely exposed to rubber products. Groups thought to be at highest risk include atopics, health care workers, rubber industry workers, and individuals who have undergone multiple surgical procedures, especially those with spina bifida. Allergy to latex is a type I, immediate, IgE‐mediated reaction that

In 1979 the first case of contact urticaria to rubber gloves was reported in a patient with a positive skin prick test to latex. The use of articles containing rubber is widespread and this can explain the increasing frequency of allergic reactions to natural rubber latex. The symptoms may be localized like contact urticaria or systemic like angioedema,

Previous studies have demonstrated that some children with spina bifida have IgE to proteins in natural rubber. In this study we compare different sources of latex antigen and identify possible antigenic peptides by radioimmunoblotting technique. Sera were collected from 26 children with spina bifida, tested by RAST with ammoniated latex extract (AL ...

AbstractAllergy to natural rubber latex is an important clinical condition that occurred after the institution of universal precautions to protect healthcare workers. A rapid increase and production of both examination and surgical gloves resulted in an epidemic of allergy to latex protein. Healthcare workers in both the medical and dental environments,
