The prevalence of reported reactions to natural rubber latex products in both the general population and in dental personnel appears to parallel the rise in glove wearing by health professionals. This paper reviews the irritant and allergic reactions which may be associated with latex products, particularly gloves. The aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of immediate Type I (IgE mediated) responses to latex are described in some detail. The paper provides the reader with an insight into factors that may lead to latex allergy and outlines measures for handling 'latex sensitised' individuals in the dental surgery.
