Hipersensitivity to fruits in latex allergic patients

Abstract
In medical literature, there are many cases reported of anaphylaxis due to fruits, before or after allergic reactions to latex. We present two atopic patients, with allergy to latex (by clinical history, positive skin test and RAST). Both patients showed a positive skin test and RAST to fruits (banana, kiwi, avocado and chestnut), but clinically caused no symptoms.
