Abstract
Objective: Determination of the correlation of interleukin-‘ (I L-‘), IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis facto r (TNF), and vaseular endothelial growth factar (VEGF) levels in serum and ascites with the severity of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Case Report: We present the ca se of a woman with primary infertility who was enrolled in an ovulation induction program. OHSS developed 6 days after artificial insemination with the husband’s sperm. We performed continuous paracentesis and recorded daily concentrations of Il-‘ , IL-6, I L-8, TNF, and VEGF in serum and ascites in an attempt to determine their correlation with the severity of OHSS. Conclusions: Improvement in symptoms and a decreasing amount of ascites were correlated with a decreasing serum concentration of VEGF. [Taiwanese j Obstet Gyneco/2004;43(2):107-109]
