Abstract
Whether the mechanism causing cyclical anaphylaxis may involve hypersensitivity to progesterone or prostaglandins, the variable response to suppressive medications in these cases suggests that catamenial anaphylaxis is a heterogeneous disorder in which a number of mechanisms and mediators may play a role. It is an emergent and probably underrecognized entity in the medical literature.
