Diagnosis of latex allergy confirmed based on clinical presentation and positive allergy testing, specifically IgE-mediated sensitization to latex allergens as demonstrated by either skin prick testing or serum-specific IgE antibody testing.  Differential diagnoses such as contact dermatitis and other hypersensitivity reactions were considered and ruled out.
