Natural rubber latex (NRL) is a natural polymer that is released by the Hevea brasiliensis (Hev b) tree, which functions as a protective sealant. It is currently used for the manufacture of health-care products such as tube caps, pistons, masks, and cannulas. The purpose of this review is to highlight the epidemiological, clinical, and diagnostic aspects of NRL allergy, and to conduct a review of the literature on its management through a bibliographic search of articles in databases such as PubMed, Cochrane, UpToDate, and Google Scholar, up to September 2021. About 121 articles were reviewed, of which 76 were used as a reference. We concluded that latex allergy is an entity for which its treatment, even nowadays, is avoidance, despite having a worldwide prevalence of 4.3 % and representing a surgical complication in about 20 % of surgeries with an anaphylactic reaction and a mortality rate that can reach 9 %.
