Three cases of latex anaphylaxis occurring during surgery are reported. Sudden cardiorespiratory collapse 40 to 90 minutes after induction of anaesthesia was treated with oxygen, crystalloid solution, adrenaline and methylprednisolone. Laboratory findings showed markedly elevated antibodies against latex postoperatively. All three patients had anorectal malformations. As children with malformations have to be operated on in early childhood, they have a high risk of developing antibodies against latex. Primary prophylaxis requires a general avoidance of latex products in children with malformations from the time of birth on.
