			Allergenic Cross-Reactivity Of Latex And Foods
		0%	Allergic reactions to natural rubber latex comprise both delayed and immediate (IgE-mediated) hypersensitivities, producing clinical symptoms ranging from contact urticaria and bronchial asthma to anaphylactic shock. Natural rubber prepared from the milky sap (latex) of the tree Hevea brasiliensis is a common component of numerous home products and medical supplies, including surgical gloves and catheters. While delayed hypersensitivity reactions to latex-containing products are often traced to additives and stabilizers employed for their production, immediate reactions are closely associated with endogenous protein components of the natural rubber latex materials.

			Association Between Latex Sensitization And Repeated Latex Exposure In Children
		0%	Numerous research studies have documented that children with spina bifida are at high risk for developing allergies to natural rubber latex. To prevent latex sensitization and possible anaphylaxis, allergists and immunologists recommend that children with spina bifida be managed with latex avoidance protocols beginning at birth. Some children with congenital anomalies other than spina bifida also become sensitized to latex; however, little empiric evidence exists to determine if these children also are at high risk for developing allergies to natural rubber latex and if they also should be managed with latex avoidance protocols.
