A 33-year-old nurse presented with persistent hand dermatitis. Radioallergosorbent tests showed moderate to strong reactions to latex, avocado and banana. Despite avoidance of latex gloves, she failed to improve. Patch testing was negative. Prick testing showed a negative reaction to latex, but a strong reaction to corn, with relevance to cornstarch powder present in many medical examination gloves. She was diagnosed with corn contact urticaria, irritant contact dermatitis and type I hypersensitivity to latex fruits.
一名33岁的护士出现了持续性手部皮炎。放射变应原吸附试验显示对乳胶、鳄梨和香蕉有中度至强烈反应。尽管避免使用乳胶手套,但她的病情并未改善。斑贴试验为阴性。点刺试验显示对乳胶呈阴性反应,但对玉米呈强烈反应,这与许多医用检查手套中含有的玉米淀粉粉末有关。她被诊断为玉米接触性荨麻疹、刺激性接触性皮炎和对乳胶类水果的I型超敏反应。
