“…In conclusion, we were not able to isolate and identify the single hapten contained in the PVC responsible for the contact allergy. The importance of testing all types of gloves, including vinyl gloves, has already been underlined (1,3). Our case confirms that, when an allergy to vinyl is suspected, it is recommended to test the glove itself, due to the difficulty to identify the specific hapten involved in the genesis of the disease.…”

“…Bisphenol A, adipic polyester, mono(2-ethylhexyl) maleate in di-(n-octyl)tin-bis(2-ethylexylmaleate), benzisothiazolinone, formaldehyde and organic pigments, are well known allergens in PVC gloves (1,2,18). As in our case, it may be difficult to identify the specific allergen in contact dermatitis caused by vinyl gloves (1)(2)(3)18). Recently, triphenyl phosphite has been identified as an allergen causing contact dermatitis in PVC gloves (1,2).…”

The use of vinyl gloves, considered "hypoallergenic", has become more and more frequent, both among healthcare workers and among housewives. However, contact allergy to vinyl gloves is not so rare, and it is often difficult to identify the hapten responsible for the allergic dermatitis. We report the case of a healthcare worker with an already known contact allergy to latex gloves, who developed a contact allergy to vinyl gloves several years later. We suggest that, when an allergy to vinyl is sus-pected, it would be recommended to test the glove itself, due to the difficulty to identify the specific hapten involved in the genesis of the disease.

“…Other skin reactions noted by the workers were redness, peeling, and skin irritation (25.34%; χ 2 = 56.630; p < 0.001). Such manifestations can be associated with insufficient air permeability of the material from which the gloves are made,; the development of excess moisture created under the glove, which leads to skin maceration; erosion and disruption of the epidermal barrier [27,34]; and allergic reactions to chemical components of protective equipment (a mixture of thiuram and tetraethylthiuram disulfide; preservatives-formaldehyde and isothiazolinones [39]; tricresyl phosphate [40]; the use of nitrile and vinyl gloves is associated with an allergy to rubber accelerators, which leads to itching and redness [41,42]).…”

The COVID-19 outbreak represents a global public health emergency. National governments have gradually introduced restrictive measures. Using respiratory protective equipment (face masks) and gloves was essential practice without specific infection control measures or guidelines. This study aimed to assess hygiene indicators when using gloves by transport workers in Russia during the COVID-19 pandemic and to develop integral indicators and recommendations for wearing gloves for workers for whom this is a mandatory requirement. For this purpose, 1103 transport workers were surveyed using a questionnaire. We investigated the hygiene aspects of gloves and evaluated the bacterial contamination of the contact side of the gloves based on the wash results. We assessed the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents, the duration of the work shift, the frequency of use of types of gloves, skin manifestations, the degree of comfort, and bacterial growth. We carried out the ranking according to comfort, the absence of adverse dermatological reactions when wearing gloves, and bacterial contamination of the inner surface of the gloves. It has been identified that it is necessary to use a comprehensive assessment of gloves to create a register of protective equipment, taking into account the frequency with which it was worn, the severity of the skin condition, comfort, and bacterial contamination.

Hand eczema in glove‐wearing patients

et al. 2023

Background Allergic contact dermatitis to gloves is mostly induced by rubber accelerators. The European baseline series (EBS) appears insufficient to detect glove allergy. Since 2017, it is recommended to use the European rubber series (ERS) and to test the patients' own gloves. Objectives To investigate the clinical profile of glove‐wearing patients with hand eczema (HE) and to evaluate their sensitisation profile to glove allergens and the value of testing the patients' own gloves. Methods We conducted a French multicentre study of patients evaluated for HE between 2018 and 2020 and tested with the EBS, the ERS and their own gloves in patch tests and semi‐open (SO) tests. Results A total of 279 patients were included; 32.6% of patients had positive tests to their own gloves or to glove allergens. Almost 45% of the sensitisations to glove allergens were detected only by the ERS. Among the patients tested both in patch tests and SO tests with their own gloves with positive results, 28% had positive SO tests only. Polyvinylchloride (PVC) gloves were positive in four patients. Conclusion Our series confirms the need to test the ERS. All the patients' gloves must also be tested including PVC gloves. SO tests with gloves are useful as a complement to patch tests.
