摘要
Approximately 30-50% of individuals with natural rubber latex (NRL) allergy show an associated hypersensitivity to particular plant-derived foods, which has been defined "latex-fruit syndrome" (LFS). In our population of 22 patients with IgE-mediated NRL allergy we found a relevant prevalence (36%) of LFS, which resulted significantly higher in the group of patients with more severe clinical manifestations of NRL allergy than in patients with contact symptoms due to NRL (78% vs 8%; p<0.005).
