Abstract:
Contact urticaria has been recognized since the 19th century, but rubber contact urticaria was not described until 1979. This sensitivity to rubber gloves, which often affects health care and cleaning workers, is now considered an occupationally related disease that must be considered in the diagnosis of contact urticaria.
