title: [Contact urticaria due to rubber gloves].
abstract: Two patients had a case history suggesting contact urticaria to rubber gloves. This was confirmed by an open patch test which produced a wheal and flare reaction. As the gloves consisted of natural latex, scratch testing with natural latex, provided by the manufacturer, was also carried out. The scratch test produced a wheal and flare reaction, whereas scratch tests with natural latex in 20 control subjects produced no reaction.
