In 1933, latex allergy was characterized by a Massachusetts dermatologist. Since that time, the information that we have has become more specific, but the disease has not really changed and seems to be occurring with increasing frequency. The use of latex in medical care has increased after the adoption of “universal precautions.” It has been estimated that in the United States, we use about 7 billion pairs of latex gloves, with about 8 to 12% of health care workers demonstrating some form of latex allergy. At its most extreme, latex allergy might be potentially career ending for anywhere from 2 to 54% of these affected individuals. The identification and management of the three types of latex allergy are discussed.
