The possibility of latex allergy and the implications of the potential life-threatening allergic reactions among patients (for example those with spina bifida), health care professionals, and latex industry workers are discussed. Latex allergy is becoming increasingly widespread in medical and surgical practice. Although early reports of latex allergy date from 1927, only over the last decade has more attention been paid to this condition. This is due to an increasing number of reported cases of adverse reactions to latex, varying in severity from mild to fatal. Latex allergy has become a major problem in children with spina bifida, who need to undergo many major aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Risk groups have been identified and include patients having multiple surgical procedures, such as those with spina bifida. In this review we aim to emphasise some aspects of the current management of surgical patients with latex allergy.
本文讨论了乳胶过敏的可能性以及患者（如脊柱裂患者）、医护人员和乳胶行业工人中潜在的危及生命的过敏反应的影响。乳胶过敏在医疗和外科实践中越来越普遍。虽然关于乳胶过敏的早期报告可追溯到1927年，但直到最近十年才对这种情况给予了更多关注。这是由于报告的乳胶不良反应病例越来越多，严重程度从轻微到致命不等。乳胶过敏已成为脊柱裂儿童的一个主要问题，这些儿童需要接受许多大型的侵入性诊断和治疗程序。已确定了风险群体，包括接受多次外科手术的患者，如脊柱裂患者。在这篇综述中，我们旨在强调目前对乳胶过敏手术患者管理的一些方面。
