We present the cases of 5 patients with a positive clinical history of cutaneous symptoms due to contact with latex products. A latex allergological assessment was made through skin prick tests (SPTs) both with commercial latex extracts and extemporaneous glove extracts, and serum-specific IgE to latex and glove-use tests. In addition, serum-specific IgE to recombinant allergens for Hevea brasiliensis was dosed. Molecular diagnostics in association with the glove-use test and, to a lesser extent, the SPTs with glove eluate are useful diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis of latex allergy in patients with mucocutaneous symptoms.
我们报告了 5 例因接触乳胶产品而出现皮肤症状的患者病例。通过皮肤点刺试验（SPTs），使用商业乳胶提取物和临时手套提取物，以及乳胶和手套使用试验的血清特异性 IgE，对乳胶过敏进行了评估。此外，还测定了对 Hevea brasiliensis 的重组过敏原的血清特异性 IgE。结合手套使用试验和（在较小程度上）手套洗脱液 SPTs 的分子诊断，对于确认有粘膜皮肤症状的乳胶过敏患者的诊断是有用的诊断测试。
