Recurrent urticaria and recurrent angioedema are frequent adverse reactions in non-atopic patients who do not tolerate aspirin. Of 1,632 infants and children who visited our allergy department for the first time, nine children (0.55%), five males and four females, presented recurrent urticaria or recurrent angioedema after taking aspirin. No evidence of atopy was disclosed either by clinical history (personal and family), skin testing, eosinophil levels or total IgE. Aspirin intolerance was established by oral challenge. Only three of the nine patients reported aspirin intolerance in their histories.

Recurrent urticaria/anaphylaxis is a most perplexing and critical problem, often of unknown cause. Though difficult and time consuming, identification of causes(s) can be life saving and cost saving for the patient(s). We report a complex case of urticaria/anaphylaxis induced by latex allergen in a former intensive care unit nurse, in which the allergen contact occurred remotely and indirectly by intimate contact with the spouse. Diagnosis of the latex allergy was confirmed by epicutaneous skin test in vivo as well as RAST.
