Abstract
In spite of numerous publications on occupational lung diseases, latex allergy, and the relationship of nose-to-bronchi, the particularities of the clinical, epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of latex allergic rhinitis (LAR) are very little considered in the literature. Based on our own experience and on a review of the literature, we will examine the environmental context of LAR and try to define its most important diagnostic and therapeutic criteria. An early diagnosis of LAR and reduction of exposure to latex allergens before its evolution to asthma, can limit the socioeconomic impact of this condition.
