Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis with persistent amenorrhoea.

I Katayama, K Nishioka

    The British Journal of Dermatology
    |April 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis caused a recurrent skin rash in a patient treated for amenorrhoea. Hormone therapy with conjugated oestrogen suppressed the eruption, suggesting a link between progesterone and the immune response.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is a rare condition.
    • Progesterone therapy is used for gynecological conditions like persistent amenorrhoea.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a recurrent skin eruption on the extremities after oral progesterone treatment.
    • Skin tests showed an immediate reaction to 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone but not delayed reactions.
    • Patch testing was negative, but histamine release from leukocytes increased with progesterone stimulation.

    Findings:

    • The case suggests an immune-mediated reaction to progesterone.
    • Histamine release indicates a potential mechanism involving sensitized leukocytes.
    • Conjugated oestrogen therapy effectively suppressed the dermatitis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the possibility of progesterone hypersensitivity.
    • Understanding the immunological basis of such reactions is crucial for patient management.
    • Further research into hormone-induced dermatoses is warranted.
