Abstract
Natural rubber latex is used in a large number of useful products like gloves and condoms. Due to the threat of AIDS hepatitis and other infectious diseases the worldwide use of materials like gloves and condoms have increased. Allergy produced by latex proteins present in these materials has been reported. The issue of latex protein allergy is reviewed giving emphasis to the types of allergy and ways to measure the amount of protein present in natural rubber latex. Proteins can be removed effectively from latex products either in the latex stage itself or from the products. Emphasis has been given to the different ways in which proteins present in latex products can be reduced.
