  • Title: Intraoperative anaphylactic reaction due to latex hypersensitivity.
    Author: Merguerian PA, Klein RB, Graven MA, Rozycki AA.
    Journal: Urology; 1991 Oct; 38(4):301-3. PubMed ID: 1755135.
    Abstract:
    Severe anaphylactic reaction secondary to latex allergy has lately been recognized and reported especially in individuals with spina bifida. We report a case of severe intraoperative anaphylactic reaction due to latex allergy. Preoperative testing for latex allergy may be helpful in determining latex allergy. We suggest a preoperative management protocol for patients who are thought to have latex allergy. An increased awareness to latex allergy will help avoid this potentially catastrophic event.
