This investigation aimed to study the prevalence of symptoms in a Swedish condom factory, to determine groupsat special risk, and to suggest preventive measures.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>A questionnaire was mailed to 35 employees, 29 women and six men with mean ages of 37 and 32 years, respectively. All subjects were interviewed by a physician and underwent skin prick test with latex and epicutaneous testing with 39 substances, and blood samples were taken for allergy testing.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>Phadiatop\u00ae was positive in 23%, RAST against <jats:italic>Lycopodium<\/jats:italic> in 31%,and RAST against latex in one of these 11. Ten subjects (29%) had work\u2010related nose\/eye symptoms; of these, eight had positive RAST to <jats:italic>Lycopodium;<\/jats:italic> three also had symptoms of occupational asthma and contact urticaria.
