Induction of pregnancy in a woman with seminal plasma allergy

Allergy to human semen is a rare disorder. In women with anaphylactic reactions to semen, celibacy or condom use are usually prescribed as the primary means of preventing an allergic reaction. The infertility that results from contact-avoidance may be an undesired complication for the afflicted patient. While only a few women with such an allergic state have been recorded, none have, as yet, had a pregnancy subsequent to the identification of the problem. This paper reports the successful induction of pregnancy in a woman with systemic allergic sensitivity to semen.
