Abstract

Allergy is by far one of the most common diseases affecting about 10% of the population. Allergy to latex appears to be a relatively new and increasingly frequent problem. The reason for this is not clear, but includes increased use of latex gloves over the past decade and changes in the manufacture of latex products.

On through investigations for all the allergens the allergy was found to be from latex gloves.
