Latex immunotherapy: State of the art
2012, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Latex allergy has thus become a relevant health problem for the general population and an occupational hazard for health-related professions.3 The risk of sensitization is higher for housekeeping personnel, gardeners, hairdressers, and especially for health care workers or patients undergoing multiple surgeries, such as children with spina bifida or other congenital malformations (eg, of the urinary tract).1 Liss et al4 performed an epidemiological study on a large number of health care workers (HCW), and found a prevalence of latex positivity of 12.1%, without significant differences among professional categories (physicians, nurses, laboratory workers, therapists, and technicians).
