Çocuklarda Lateks Alerjisi’ne Güncel Yaklaşım

ÖzLateks Hevea brasiliensis (Hev b) olarak adlandırılan kauçuk ağacından elde edilir. Hem ucuz hem de esnek olması sağlıkla ilgili alanlarda ve gündelik hayatta yaygın olarak kullanılmasını sağlamıştır. Doğal lateksin içerdiği proteinlerle ürtiker, anjiyoödem, astım, anafilaksi ve kontak dermatit gibi reaksiyonlara yol açmasının yanında bazı yiyeceklerle çapraz reaksiyona neden olması da konuya ilgiyi arttırmıştır. Hatta lateks alerjisi sağlık çalışanlarında ayrı bir sorun olarak dikkat çekmeye başlamış ve bir meslek hastalığı haline gelmiştir (1,2,3).

Current Approach to Latex Allergy in Children

AbstractLatex is obtained from rubber tree called Hevea brasiliensis(Hev b). It is bothcheap and flexible, making it widely used in health-related areas and everyday life.In addition to causing reactions such as urticaria, angioedema, asthma, anaphylaxisand contact dermatitis with natural latexcontaining proteins, it has also increased the issue of causing cross reactions with certain foods. In fact, latex allergy has begun to attract attention as a separate problem in health care workers and has become an occupational disease (1,2,3).
