Triggers of Anaphylaxis: Latex Some groups are at increased risk Healthcare workers Children with spina bifida Patients with multiple surgeries Increased incidence during the 1990 s was due largely to implementation of universal precautions. Incidence has decreased since non-powder gloves have become available Kelly KJ et al, J Allergy Clin Immunol 1994;93:813-6
Triggers of Anaphylaxis: Physical Exercise-induced Food or medication are often co-triggers Wheat, celery, peanut and multiple others May be more common than previously noted. Cold-induced Heat-induced Burgess B. EMedHome.com
