艾伯塔省医学实验室技师协会的成员被邀请参加一项对乳胶手套敏感性的研究。志愿者共计230人；108例（47%）对手套没有问题，122例（53%）对乳胶手套有反应。获得了有关特应性、吸烟、实验室医学年数和乳胶手套问题性质的历史。测定血清总IgE水平及对常见吸入性过敏原和乳胶特异性IgE的存在。受影响的群体中有特异应性史的受试者人数增加，IgE水平升高的发生率更高，吸入性过敏原筛查呈阳性。在受影响的组中，总IgE水平与皮肤反应的严重程度之间没有关系。然而，吸烟与反应的严重程度有关，在反应更严重的人群中更常见。3名受试者乳胶特异性IgE阳性；没有其他数据将他们与乳胶阴性受试者区分开来。
Abstract Members of the Alberta Society of Medical Laboratory Technologists were invited to take part in a study of sensitivity to latex gloves. A total of 230 persons volunteered; 108 (47%) had no problems with gloves, and 122 (53%) reacted to latex gloves. A history was obtained regarding atopy, smoking, years in laboratory medicine, and the nature of the problem with latex gloves. Serum was assayed for the total IgE level and the presence of IgE with specificity to common inhalant allergens and to latex. The affected group had an increased population of subjects with an atopic history and a higher incidence of a raised IgE level and a positive screen for inhalant allergens. In the affected group, there was no relationship between the total IgE level and severity of skin reaction. However, smoking was related to severity of reaction and was more common in the groups with a more severe reaction. Three subjects were positive for IgE specific for latex; there were no other data distinguishing them from latex-negative subjects.
