摘要：

A method for the standardized sampling and quantification of aeroallergens was developed. It proved suitable for the analysis of allergen loads in a variety of medical settings. Several studies demonstrate that the use of powdered allergenic latex gloves leads to a significant aeroallergen load which is responsible for IgE-mediated rhinitis, bronchial asthma, and conjunctivitis in health care workers. Only nonpowdered latex gloves with low or no allergen content should therefore be used. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
