This study reports two cases of latex anaphylaxis, a severe latex allergy reaction, highlighting its occurrence in both high-risk individuals and those without prior risk factors. It emphasizes the need for increased awareness and a multidisciplinary approach to manage this serious health concern.

Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Latex allergy is a growing concern, with latex anaphylaxis representing its most severe manifestation.
  • Understanding risk factors, etiology, and diagnostic criteria is crucial for effective management.
  • Previous identification of risk factors is not always present in patients experiencing anaphylaxis.

Observation:

  • Two distinct case reports of latex anaphylaxis are presented.
  • One case involved a patient with identified risk factors for latex allergy.
  • The second case occurred in a patient with no previously recognized risk factors.

Findings:

  • Latex anaphylaxis can occur unpredictably, even in individuals without apparent risk factors.
  • A comprehensive review of latex allergy and anaphylaxis covers risk groups, causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
