How many members enquire about allergy in
those who are selected for gonadotrophins?? Ans: This issue stems in my mind because
few researchers have noticed that those women who developed OHSS most of them
have allergy to diff foods and or pollutants. Researchers hypothesized that
differences in the immunologic sensitivity of patients are a predictor of OHSS. This hypotheses were based on their observation that the pathophysiologic changes that occur in the ovary in
response to OHSS closely resemble an overactive inflammatory response, with the
participation of immunomodulatory cytokines. Therefore, those researchers
warned that before starting controlled ovarian
hyperstimulation, all women selected for Gn Inj better be enquired & questioned about allergy as a sign of previous hyper
reactive immune system, and disposition to infection as a sign of hypo
reactivity. The interesting observation of a significantly higher incidence of allergy in severe OHSS may indicate that general
immunologic mechanisms may play a
role in the development of an inflammatory response.
