Latex allergy can cause serious, preventable work-related health problems in healthcare workers who are a high risk group for this form of allergy. Type I hypersensitivity can produce life-threatening systemic effects, and involves an allergen-specific immunoglobulin (IgE) response to proteins found in latex. The estimated prevalence of latex 'allergy' in healthcare workers varies widely (2.8% - 18%), and studies do not always distinguish between those who are positive in an assay for latex-specific IgE and those with clinical allergy.
