Objective: To determine the prevalence of latex glove allergy and its contributing factors among operation room staff. Patients and Methods: In this study, 512 operation room staff were evaluated for latex allergy, using a complete questionnaire.

Results: From evaluated staff, 178 (34.8%) had a history of sensitivity to latex gloves, from which 59 persons underwent the tests voluntarily. According to the results of the tests, 13 (22%) had type I allergy to latex, 3 (5.1%) had type IV allergy to latex and 9 (15.3%) had both allergies. There were no significant relationship between latex allergy and age, sex, job, season, family and personal history of allergies. Significant relationship was found between type I allergy to latex and allergy to kitchen gloves and also between type IV allergy and allergy to other plastic clothing.
