Recommendations for the management of latex allergy in pediatrics
ARCHIVOS ARGENTINOS DE PEDIATRIA(2024)
摘要
Latex allergy, or natural rubber latex allergy (NRLA), is a global health concern, even among the pediatric population, with symptoms varying in severity from mild to potentially life-threatening. Latex is derived from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree, producing twelve million tons annually for use in various everyday and medical products. Despite efforts to mitigate NRLA, its prevalence remains high, especially in atrisk groups such as children with spina bifida. Clinical manifestations include immediate and delayed symptoms, even anaphylactic reactions. Diagnosis involves a detailed medical history and specific tests. Prevention focuses on avoiding exposure, especially in medical and educational settings. Treatment, including immunotherapy, exhibits variable efficacy. NRLA has a strong negative impact on children's quality of life. The objective of this publication is to provide updated information and practical tools for the pediatrician's and allergist's practice.
