摘要：

Following interviews on glove-related skin symptoms, 202 subjects, 56 hospital workers at an operating theatre and 146 workers at dental care centres, were skin prick tested with different latex extracts. Also, in 193 cases, blood samples were RAST-analysed, using the CAP system. Sensitization to latex diagnosed by positive skin prick test and/or by demonstration of specific antibodies in serum analyses was found in 3.5% of the subjects investigated. 4 cases (2%) showed 1 or more positive skin tests, and 4 cases (2%) had positive RAST to latex antigens. Further work on the diagnostic tools is still needed, as are prognostic studies.
