Objective: To present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of latex sensitivity in a workplace that produced rubber-based vehicle seals.
Method: The serum latex-specific IgE levels, respiratory complaints, PFT, serum interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13 levels of all male workers (n = 108) exposed to latex in the workplace, which produced rubber seals, were compared with the control group (n = 52).
Results: The rates of latex-specific IgE >0.

Background: Evidence-based guidelines are needed in the United States to improve evaluation of perioperative allergic reactions including recommendations for subsequent anesthesia.
Objective: To identify causative agent(s) and evaluate patients' tolerability of subsequent anesthesia in patients evaluated by Allergy/Immunology (A/I) at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients referred to the outpatient A/I clinic for perioperative allergic reactions between October 2003 and May 2017.

Article Synopsis
- International studies show that latex sensitization (LS) rates among healthcare workers range from 7% to 17%, but the prevalence in Argentina is unclear.
- A study was conducted on residents at a children's hospital to gauge LS prevalence and identify risk factors through questionnaires and prick tests from June to October 2017, including 113 participants.
- The findings revealed a 7.96% LS prevalence, with a significant link between prior latex-related symptoms and positive prick test results, while no correlation was found between LS and the residency year.

Unit of Occupational Medicine, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy.
Background: Atopic diseases have increased since the second half of the previous century. Atopic workers are at higher risk to be sensitized to latex, and the first years of exposure are supposed to be especially risky.
Objective: To assess atopic status and rate of latex sensitization in health care students starting their exposure to latex gloves.
