Progesterone as a cause of eosinophilic pneumonia after in vitro fertilization

Abstract: Intramuscular progesterone has been reported to be infrequently associated with acute eosinophilic pneumonia in patients who have recently undergone in vitro fertilization. A 27-year-old female at 5 weeks gestation after in vitro fertilization presented with cough, fever, dyspnea, bilateral infiltrates, and eosinophilia. All infectious, neoplastic, and autoimmune evaluations were negative. She gradually improved with supportive care. This case demonstrates that progesterone in sesame seed oil may be an incitin… Show more

“…The same cluster included the amount of CTLs, which also significantly rose in females ( Figure 3 C, yellow frame). High level of progesterone can mediate increase eosinophils number in human [ 45 ]. The increase in EO level observed in young and old females compared with males ( Figure 3 B,C).…”

“…In such instances, patients exhibited severe dyspnea and tachypnea due to the sesame oil component [91,92]. Patients experiencing hypersensitivity reactions to progesterone in sesame oil injections, including those with eosinophilic pneumonia, are advised to switch to a progesterone preparation with an alternative vehicle, such as peanut oil [91,93,94]. Moreover, advanced formulations of progesterone, which exhibit promising results in preclinical studies and limited clinical trials, present potential alternatives.…”
