dc.description.abstract | Allergic reactions to latex have become a significant public health problem, particularly among health care workers (HCWs). The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence of latex allergy and risk factors for latex sensitization among HCWs in Bolu in Turkey. The prevalence of latex allergy or hypersensitivity among HCWs was 19.1%. HCWs with atopic disease, contact dermatitis, and increased glove use were at increased risk of sensitization. Increased awareness of the problem by HCWs is important to identify those at risk. | en_US |
