Occupational allergic contact dermatitis caused by sterile non-latex protective gloves: clinical investigation and chemical analyses.

Occupational contact urticaria caused by polyvinylchloride gloves.

Allergy to natural rubber latex (NRL) gloves in healthcare workers is well recognized, and usually presents as immunological contact urticaria and sometimes anaphylaxis. Latex gloves can also cause allergic contact dermatitis, mostly because of rubber accelerators. As latex sensitivity is well known in healthcare settings, synthetic latex-free gloves are widely used. The most popular latexfree ...

Facial allergic contact dermatitis without hand involvement caused by disposable latex gloves.

Allergic contact dermatitis caused by latex gloves in a dental undergraduate student.

Dental professionals are required to wear gloves for all treatments. Most wear natural rubber latex gloves. This may cause sensitization to latex proteins and subsequent allergic reactions (1). We report the case of a 21-year-old dental undergraduate student who, after the first time he had worn latex gloves during a practical session in the second year of his course, developed severe allergic ...

In vivo testing of the protection provided by non-latex gloves against a 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-containing acetone-based dentin-bonding product.

In dentistry, allergic contact dermatitis to acrylates and allergic contact urticaria to latex are important occupational hazards. There is a need to identify non-latex gloves which are suitable for dental work but at the same time provide adequate protection against acrylate monomers. In a previous study, a new open-chamber system was used for testing the in vivo protection of 6 different glov...

Occupational Dermatitis Caused by Vulcanization Accelerator of Gloves

Three cases of occupational dermatitis due to additives to rubber gloves are discussed. These cases were not a result of latex allergy and their dermatitis caused by vulcanization accelerator in rubber gloves. Most people have heard of latex allergy, and some people avoid the use of latex products. However, some rubber-related contact dermatitis of hands is caused by additives such as vulcaniza...
