ABSTRACT
Latex is the milky sap obtained by tapping the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. The prevalence of latex allergy has been on the increase alongside the wider use of latex-manufactured products. The number of reports of latex-induced anaphylaxis during operation is therefore increasing. We report the case of a 56-year-old male patient who developed severe anaphylactic shock while under anesthesia when the tourniquet was deflated during elbow arthrolysis. A subsequent allergy workup revealed an IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to latex.
