| Abstract |
The incidence of immediate hypersensitivity to latex is probably underestimated, as it has minimal symptoms: moderate itching when wearing latex gloves, often atributed to another agent (talc powder). However, this kind of hypersensitivity has to be identified systematically, as it can cause anaphylactic reactions during dental, gynaecological and surgical interventions. |
