Latex allergy in health care workers. Refer to the Current Allergy&Clinical Immunology (March 2004) study of health care workers who use latex gloves, presented in Exercise. In addition to the 46 hospital employees who were diagnosed with a latex allergy on the basis of a skin-prick test, another 37 health care workers were diagnosed with the allergy by means of a latex-specific serum test. Of these 83 workers with a confirmed latex allergy, only 36 suspected that they had the allergy when they were asked about it on a questionnaire. Make a statement about the likelihood that a health care worker with a latex allergy suspects that he or she actually has the allergy. Attach a measure of reliability to your inference.
