Latex Allergy Doctors in Malta

Latex allergy results from an immune response to proteins in natural rubber latex found in gloves, balloons, and medical equipment, causing reactions ranging from contact urticaria and rhinitis to, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. An allergist can confirm latex allergy through skin prick testing or specific IgE blood tests and advise on avoidance strategies, the use of latex-free alternatives, and whether to carry an adrenaline auto-injector. Patients with latex allergy should ensure all healthcare providers and settings are aware of this allergy before any procedure.
