متن کاملA survey of starch particle counts in the hospital environment in relation to the use of powdered latex gloves.
As latex proteins, which cause latex hypersensitivity, can be found on starch particles and inhalation may be a route for sensitization, the presence of starch particles in hospital air was examined. The starch particles were demonstrated by immobilization onto cellulose acetate filters and staining with iodine. Rooms in which powdered latex gloves were used gave counts of up to > 3,667 particl...

Two infants in different nurseries were found with cardiopulmonary arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was undertaken immediately in both cases, but was unsuccessful. The cause of death in both infants was diagnosed as sudden unexpected death, probably sudden infant death syndrome, at postmortem investigations. Microscopic examination at autopsy showed the presence of starch granules in the l...
متن کاملAirborne particles from latex gloves in the hospital environment.
Air sampling studies are described which show high levels of airborne starch powder contamination in areas where powdered latex gloves are used. Furthermore, culture of collected samples show a clear association between starch particles and bacterial colonies in an experimental system suggesting that airborne particles could act as a vector for pathogens in the hospital environment.
