The Journal of the American Dental Association

Abstract

The authors investigated the prevalence of immediate (Type I) hypersensitivity to gloves made from natural rubber latex, or NRL, by performing skin-prick tests on 2,166 dental workers over the course of a two-year period (with two one-year intervals). The investigator used two separate eluents made from different brands of natural rubber latex gloves. The study, conducted in 1994 and 1995 as part of the American Dental Association's Annual Health Screening Program, found that 6.2 percent of the participants (dentists, hygienists and assistants) tested positive for Type I hypersensitivity to NRL proteins.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
