Decreased latex sensitization in kids with SB

The journal Allergy has an article titled
"Effects of Latex Avoidance on latex sensitization, atopy and allergic diseases in patients with spina bifida" 2010 July 23

The conclusion of this article states:
"Latex avoidance in children with spina bifida prevents latex sensitization and latex allergy. Additionally, it also seems to prevent sensitization to other allergens and allergic diseases which might be explained by the prevention of sensitization spreading."
