“…In one report, the rubber stopper implicated in a latex allergy actually contained no DNR, but was initially misidentified by the manufacturer and the error was not discovered until after publication [24,[28][29][30] Table 1. In a second case report, a diabetic man with latex allergy noted improvement in a skin reaction at the site of injection after switching to an insulin preparation with a rubber stopper misidentified as non-latex [31].…”

Towse et al [31] 1995 Case Report Insulin Rash Stopper misidentified as being non-latex.…”

“…Skin lesions (localized or generalized erythema, hives with or without angioedema) were expressed alongside signs in other systems [17][18][19]21 The reactions attributable to latex were published among the most severe, grade III or IV, including cardiovascular events (low blood pressure, hemodynamic shock associated with tachycardia and bradycardia, and even cardiac arrest). These cardiovascular signs were mostly associated to respiratory symptoms (wheezing, bronchospasms) and sometimes to mucocutaneous signs [12,28,29,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][39][40][41]74,75].…”

“…(Table 2) [17,18,20,23,24]. Also, when the reactions were related to latex, most reports were carried out using an adequate allergological evaluation [12,28,29,[32][33][34]36,37,[39][40][41]74].…”
