Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Dermatology
  • Allergy and Immunology

Background:

  • Allergic reactions to natural rubber latex are increasingly reported.
  • Increased use of latex gloves and condoms for infection control is a suspected driver.
  • Medical professionals and specific patient groups are at higher risk.

Observation:

  • This study presents a case of immediate allergic reaction following condom use.
  • The reaction symptoms observed were consistent with latex hypersensitivity.

Findings:

  • Latex allergy can manifest as urticaria, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, angioedema, asthma, and anaphylactic shock.
  • The incidence and diagnosis of latex allergy are discussed in relation to risk factors.

Implications:
