[Type I allergy to latex after gynecologic examination].
A case of a 32 year-old woman with a allergic reaction of latex gloves is described. Due to the obviously increasing number of latex-related allergies, especially in atopic persons and patients with frequent latex exposure, the exact history is highly significant. If a latex-related allergy is suspected, all latex-or rubber-containing materials have to be consequently avoided. The diagnosis of latex allergy should be verified by testing and Latex-RAST.
