Abstract
In principle and by definition, intraoperative contact allergies can only be type I allergies. Contact urticaria with latex proteins is the best example, even though their frequency has significantly decreased in the past years. “Intraoperative” allergic contact dermatitis (type IV allergy) never occurs during surgery. If they are triggered during the procedure, they only are observed during the following days. Allergic contact dermatitis to vulcanization accelerators of rubber gloves (natural or synthetic) remains hot news and represents a huge problem for both the staff working in the operating room and the patient “undergoing” surgery!
