title: [Immunoglobulin E-mediated contact urticaria and bronchial asthma caused by household rubber gloves containing latex. 3 case reports].
abstract: During a period of a few months we observed 3 female patients suffering from contact urticaria by use of rubber gloves. In one case the local urticarial reaction at the fore arms was followed by asthma. In all 3 cases we could prove type I allergy against latex by radio allergo sorbent test (RAST).
