“…Shocks involving latex now account for 12 6% of intraoperative anaphylactic reactions, whereas it was rare in 1989 (0-5%) [1]. They occur between 30 min and 2h after induction of anaesthesia [13,14]. The rationale for the increase of latex allergy during these last years could be the better knowledge of clinical manifestations, the increasing use of iatex gloves and condoms because of acquired Immune difficiency syndrome (AIDS), and modification in rubber and gloves industry or in growing of Hevea brasiliensis.…”

“…Latex and ethylene oxide Radioallergosorbent test (RAST) to latex and ethylene oxide are commercially available. Immediate allergic reactions to these substances are IgE dependent [14]. However, in vitro determination of IgE antibodies to latex is less sensitive than skin tests.…”

“…A latex radioallergosorbent test is commercially available but, as expected, it is less sensitive than a skin test, detecting these antibodies in only about 50-70% of cases [14]. Latex specific IgE is more frequently found in ragweed, blue grass and ficus-allergic patients [29].…”

Allergic contact dermatitis from natural latex without contact urticaria

During the last decade, there have been many reports of immediate-type hypersensitivity to natural latex, resulting in contact urticaria, generalized allergic reactions such as urticaria and Quincke's edema, and asthmatic or anaphylactic reactions. Moreover, delayed-type hypersensitivity to rubber additives such as thiuram and carbamate derivatives is acknowledged to be the main cause of dermatitis in patients working with rubber gloves. We here report on a patient who developed severe dermatitis on his hands and forearms 3 months after he had started working with rubber gloves. Patch tests with rubber additives, skin prick tests and RAST to natural latex were negative. However, a delayed type of hypersensitivity to latex could be shown by a positive patch test. To our knowledge this is the 1st case reported of an isolated contact dermatitis from natural latex without contact urticaria to latex or hypersensitivity to rubber additives. We therefore propose that not only patch tests with rubber additives, but also skin prick and patch tests with latex should be performed in contact dermatitis patients working with rubber gloves.
