  • Public Health

Background:

  • IgE-mediated allergic reactions to natural latex rubber are a concern in pediatric care.
  • These reactions can occur in children with spina bifida and the general pediatric population.
  • Early identification of latex allergy risk is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the R.U.B.B.E.R. screening tool for identifying unrecognized latex allergy in children.
  • To highlight the importance of proactive management strategies for pediatric latex allergy.
  • To emphasize the role of pediatric nurse practitioners in managing latex allergy.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application of the R.U.B.B.E.R. (Recognizing Undesired Body reactions to Biological materials, Especially Rubber) screening tool.
