  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Surgical Patient Care

Background:

  • Increasing awareness of latex hypersensitivity reactions in surgical settings.
  • Observed rise in patients presenting with adverse reactions to latex prior to surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the rising incidence of latex hypersensitivity in surgical patients.
  • To understand the clinical implications of latex allergy in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on latex allergy prevalence.
  • Analysis of patient case histories.
  • Clinical observation of patient responses.

Main Results:

  • Documented increase in patients reporting latex sensitivity.
  • Identification of potential triggers and reactions in surgical contexts.
