Connection between levonorgestrel-IUD and GAS (Group a Streptococcus) sepsis? Reliable risk assessment is not yet possible

Milsom, I.; Landgren, B.M.; Alestig, K.

Lakartidningen 92(50): 4781-4782

1995

Document Number: 6445
I Läkartidningen 48/95 redogör Ottander och medarßre [1] för tre fall av grupp A streptokock sepsis (GAS) i anslutning till insättning av livmoderinlägg innehållande levonorgestrel (Levonova). Samtliga fall inträffade under perioden 1992-1995 och inom ett förhållandevis begränsat geografiskt område, nämligen Västerbotten. Författarna diskuterar huruvida ett allmänt samband föreligger med den dokumenterat ökade incidensen av GAS-sepsis under de senaste åren, eller om spiralinsättningen i sig och/eller livmoderinlägg med gestagen ökar risken för insjuknande. Evaluering pågår för närvarande hos Läkemedelsbiverkningsnämnden.
