Abstract
Latex-fruit syndrome is characterized by hypersensitivity reactions to certain plant-derived foods in individuals allergic to natural rubber latex (NRL), affecting approximately 30-50% of NRL-allergic patients. This condition arises due to the cross-reactivity of IgE antibodies. Over time, this syndrome has been associated with an increased number of plant sources, including avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwi, peach, tomato, potato, and bell pepper. We present a case of an art student who developed latex-fruit syndrome following prolonged exposure to NRL art supplies.
