The AIDS progress in the world has led to a considerable increase in the request of medical gloves but also of condoms. At the same time latex hypersensitivity has a growing effect upon our allergology consultations; although the contact dermatitis and urticaria to condoms are frequent, asthma remains very rare. We report one case of condom nocturnal asthma in a patient also presenting a food allergy to sunflower with cross-reactivity to umbelliferae. The different steps of a latex allergy diagnosis are criticized, the populations at risk are mentioned. Nowadays, no standardized allergen exist, therefore we must put the stress on the prevention. Latex hypersensitivity raises an emergency public health issue.
全球艾滋病防治工作的进展使得医用手套和安全套的需求大幅增加。与此同时，乳胶过敏对我们变态反应科门诊的影响日益显著；尽管对安全套的接触性皮炎和荨麻疹很常见，但哮喘仍极为罕见。我们报告了1例安全套诱发夜间哮喘的病例，该患者还对向日葵存在食物过敏，并与伞形科植物有交叉反应。本文对乳胶过敏诊断的不同步骤进行了分析，并提及了高危人群。目前尚无标准化的变应原，因此我们必须强调预防。乳胶过敏引发了一个紧急的公共卫生问题。
