Seventy-six patients with meningomyelocele were evaluated for latex sensitivity by medical history and epicutaneous skin testing. Four different latex glove extracts, two nonlatex glove extracts, cornstarch, selected inhalant antigens, and negative and positive controls were used for skin testing. Forty-nine patients (64.5%) were skin test positive to latex extracts (latex-positive group). Twenty-four patients (49%) of the latex-positive group and none of the latex-negative group had histories of immediate reactions to latex products (P less than .001). The latex-positive group had a higher mean number of surgical procedures, 12.67 +/- 11.27, compared with 6.89 +/- 6.55 (P less than .001) in the latex-negative group. Twenty-three of the latex-positive patients (47%) used latex products daily compared to seven patients (26%) in the latex-negative group (P = .073). Twenty latex-positive patients (41%) had atopy compared with five patients (19%) of the latex negative group (P = .041). There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, sex, daily catheterization, or positive skin tests to cornstarch. All 76 patients tested negative to the nonlatex glove extracts. Ten control subjects tested negative for all latex and nonlatex glove extracts.
