Here we present two cases of latex hypersensitivity. The clinical manifestations were conjunctivitis, urticaria, angioedema and dermatitis. The patients presented positive skin prick test (SPT) to latex with a commercial extract and by pricking through a latex surgical glove. Radioallergosorbent test (RAST) to latex and patch testing to common additives and to latex were negative. Skin prick tests with fruits (banana, kiwi, pineapple, apricot, avocado, grape) were positive but children presented no symptoms after ingestion of these fruits. These case reports are presented to heighten awareness of the potential of latex allergy also in children.
在此，我们报告两例乳胶过敏病例。临床表现为结膜炎、荨麻疹、血管性水肿和皮炎。患者对市售乳胶提取物以及通过刺破乳胶手术手套进行的皮肤点刺试验（SPT）呈阳性。乳胶的放射变应原吸附试验（RAST）以及对常见添加剂和乳胶的斑贴试验均为阴性。对水果（香蕉、猕猴桃、菠萝、杏子、鳄梨、葡萄）的皮肤点刺试验呈阳性，但儿童摄入这些水果后未出现症状。呈现这些病例报告是为了提高对儿童乳胶过敏可能性的认识。
