Over the last decade, the prevalence of natural rubber latex (NRL) allergy has reached epidemic proportions among workers who use or who are exposed to powdered latex products. NRL-associated occupational asthma is confined largely to those exposed to powdered latex glove use or other latex aerosols. The most frequent presenting symptom of NRL allergy is contact urticaria; inhalation may cause symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma. Skin prick testing is the most accurate tool for diagnosis of NRL allergy. The cornerstone of management is cessation of exposure; substitution with non-NRL or nonpowdered NRL gloves results in predictable rapid disappearance of latex aeroallergen.
