Abstract

Nepoželjne kožne reakcije na lateks javljaju se povremeno i nisu nepoznanica, posebice među zdravstvenim djelatnicima. Kod pojave takvih reakcija, čimbenici koji utječu na njihovu pojavnost su mnogobrojni, kako u općoj populaciji, tako i u populaciji zdravstvenih djelatnika. Pritom se ističe nekoliko važnijih čimbenika koji se povezuju s njihovom pojavom. Razna istraživanja ukazuju na to da postojanje alergijskih bolesti u anamnezi (atopijska konstitucija) ima najveći utjecaj na pojavnost reakcija, a u zdravstvenih djelatnika važni čimbenici jesu učestalo mijenjanje rukavica te pranje ruku agresivnim sapunima i dezinficijensima koji dodatno potiču nastanak takvih reakcija. Osobito se ističe važnost potrebe poduzimanja mjera kojima bi se umanjio učinak čimbenika koji utječu na nastanak nepoželjnih reakcija na lateks, čime bi se smanjila njihova pojavnost.

Abstract (english)

Unwanted reactions to latex tend to appear often and are certainly not an unknown phenomenon, especially amongst medical professionals. In these particular reactions we find many different factors which cause them to appear, amongst the general population as well as medical professionals. There are several key factors which are associated with the onset of unwanted reactions to latex. Many different researches show that having a medical history of allergies (atopic diathesis) has the highest effect on the onset of reactions. The most common factors in medical professionals are frequent change of gloves, as well as frequent hand washing with aggressive soaps and disinfectants which only help with the onset of unwanted reactions. It is very important to take all appropriate precautionary measures in order to minimize the effect of the key factors responsible for the onset of unwanted reactions to latex, and therefore to minimize their incidence.
