Latex hypersensitivity: an iatrogenic and occupational risk
American Journal of Critical Care, 1994BACKGROUND Immediate hypersensitivity reactions to natural rubber and latex products were first reported in 1979 by Nutter, who identified contact urticaria to latex gloves. Since that time, numerous cases of immediate and delayed reactions to latex have been reported.

Risk factors for latex hypersensitivity in childhood
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 1996As hypersensitivity to natural rubber latex (NRL) has become an increasingly recognized problem in children, identification of all groups at risk seems important. In this study hypersensitivity to NRL was evaluated in 337 children with potential risk factors. We identified by questionnaire children's underlying diseases, history of surgical procedures,

IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity to latex in childhood
Allergy, 1997A total of 267 children scheduled to receive anesthesia during a surgical, neurosurgical, or orthopedic intervention were investigated. IgE antibodies against latex were detected in serum samples of 6.4% (17/267 children) of the patients. The most important difference between sensitized and nonsensitized children was the number of surgical ...

Management of latex hypersensitivity in the perioperative setting
Journal of Perioperative Practice, 2019Despite the introduction and use of latex-free gloves, natural rubber latex hypersensitivity is still an issue in hospital medicine both for patients and healthcare professionals. Clear understanding of the groups at risk as well as perioperative assessment and management is key to reducing complications and improving safety. In this literature review,

Latex Hypersensitivity Reactions Despite Prophylaxis
Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1992Latex rubber hypersensitivity represents a significant problem facing the medical, surgical, radiologic, and dental professions. As a tertiary care center, the Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia has a large population of patients with spina bifida and complex genitourinary anomalies; a number of these children have latex rubber allergy, which may first

Latex Hypersensitivity: Two Case Reports
Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1992For persons hypersensitive to latex, continued exposure may result in a life-threatening situation. Since 1979 reports appeared supporting evidence of urticaria, rhinitis, asthma, and anaphylaxis in association with latex exposure. We present two cases of latex hypersensitivity, patients who reacted to latex on skin-prick and radioallergosorbent tests (

Latex Hypersensitivity: An Update
Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1994Products containing natural rubber latex can cause both delayed and immediate hypersensitivity. Delayed reactions are induced by chemicals, primarily antidegradants and accelerators, integral to the manufacturing process. Immediate hypersensitivity is caused by protein antigen(s) that occur naturally in the latex.

Management of the latex hypersensitive patient in the endodontic office
Journal of Endodontics, 1999This case report documents the treatment of an endodontic patient who experienced a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction to latex. The dental, medical, and environmental aspects of treating latex allergic patients are reviewed. Because gutta-percha and latex rubber are similar compounds, the possible cross-reactivity of these materials is discussed.
