摘要
Latex allergy represents an increasing occupational problem, mainly among healthcare workers. An association between latex allergy and hypersensitivity to some plant foods, particularly fruits (the latex-fruit syndrome), has been established. Class I chitinases with an N-terminal hevein-like domain from avocado, chestnut, banana and other foods, and latex hevein seem to be the allergens responsible for the cross-reactions involved in the latex-fruit syndrome. The potential role of other latex allergens, such as profilin, Hev b 5, Hev b 7 and beta-1,3-glucanases, in the co-sensitization to latex and plant foods is also discussed.
