AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Catamenial or cyclical anaphylaxis is a complex clinical syndrome with poorly reported incidence and prevalence in the literature review. The underlying mechanism is still a myth although a few proposed hypotheses are stated. Early recognition of these symptoms will bring optimal treatment and prevent unnecessary intubation and complications. Here, we present a 48-year-old woman without significant medical and family history with recurrent angioedema in the setting of catamenial anaphylaxis or cyclical anaphylaxis in the setting of progesterone hypersensitivity.

Purpose Of Review: Is sexual dimorphism also true in anaphylaxis as described in other allergic diseases? Possible gender differences in the epidemiology, triggers, severity, outcomes of anaphylaxis as well as in the pathogenesis of the disease are discussed.
Recent Findings: Hormonal status and the X-chromosome-coded factors deeply involved in the regulation of T-cell and B-cell responses may influence the gender difference noticed in allergic diseases, such as asthma and rhinitis. Little is known if sex is also relevant for anaphylaxis, although the description of catamenial anaphylaxis is intriguing.

Hypersensitivity to progestogen, previously known as autoimmune progesterone dermatitis, is an increasingly recognized clinical entity that presents specific diagnostic and treatment challenges. Clinical presentations are heterogeneous, but can consist of hypersensitivity symptoms associated with the progesterone surge during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle or after exposure to exogenous progestins. With the increasing use of exogenous progesterone for contraception and fertility, more cases of hypersensitivity to exogenous progestins have been described.

Background: Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis is a poorly recognized syndrome associated with a hypersensitivity to progestogens. Symptoms present heterogeneously, which may complicate diagnosis. Management has generally centered on symptomatic control with medication.
