Abstract
A woman with autoimmune oophoritis was found to have luteal phase progesterone levels throughout a six-month period of amenorrhea. The common presentation of amenorrhea or metrorrhagia, despite the presence of a corpus luteum, in women with autoimmune oophoritis might result from this chronic progesterone production. A clinical picture consistent with a persistent corpus luteum may be a very early sign of autoimmune oophoritis.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
