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.

Latex Hypersensitivity: A New and Unexpected Problem
Hospital Practice, 1992Allergy to such latex products as surgical gloves is a growing medical problem. About 3% of hospital physicians and nurses are affected, and higher rates have been reported in surgical units. Allergic reactions may be delayed (and usually local) or immediate, with systemic derangements that are potentially fatal.

Pediatrics, 1995
Objective. To better understand the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and possible prevention of immediate hypersensitivity reactions to latex in a hospitalized, pediatric patient population. Methods. We performed a retrospective case analysis of the first 35 patients with latex allergy evaluated by our service over a 2-year period at

Immediate‐type latex hypersensitivity in a hairdresser
Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 2002SUMMARYHairdressers commonly develop contact dermatitis caused by either skin irritants or allergens to which they are exposed. Those using latex gloves are also at risk of developing immediate hypersensitivity reactions to latex. We present a hairdresser with hand dermatitis, primarily as a result of immediate‐type hypersensitivity to latex causing ...

Intraoperative latex hypersensitivity: do not overlook Penrose drains
Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 2005We report a case of intraoperative latex hypersensitivity to Penrose surgical drains (Ansell, Massillon, Ohio). To our knowledge, there has been no previous report of such a reaction with this device.

Hypersensitivity to natural latex
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1989Rubber hypersensitivity is well described but usually as a contact dermatitis caused by chemicals added during the process of making natural latex or synthetic rubber. IgE-mediated reactions, mainly contact urticaria, have rarely been reported in Europe. We report a case of immediate hypersensitivity to latex.

Latex Hypersensitivity in a Horse Farmer
Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 1996Latex immediate hypersensitivity has been documented in 28% to 67% of spina bifida patients, 2.6%-16.9% of health care workers and at least 1% of the general population. Additionally, it has been confirmed in food-sensitive individuals sensitive to cross-reacting foods such as chestnut, avocado, banana, and passion fruits. Recently it has been observed

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 ...
