Latex Allergy within a Cohort of Not-at-Risk Subjects with Respiratory Symptoms: Prevalence of Latex Sensitization and Assessment of Diagnostic Tools

Abstract

SPTs with NRL extract should be routinely performed in patients with respiratory symptoms. Hev b 5, Hev b 6.01 and Hev b 6.02 are the most important allergens, but further characterization of NRL extracts is needed to identify novel allergens and to clarify the role of crossreactive carbohydrate determinants.
