Abstract

A 28-year-old woman was treated for seminal fluid allergy with immunotherapy using a one-day 'rush' procedure. Apart from minor anaphylactic symptoms, no serious side effects were noted during or after hyposensitization or boostering. Five weeks after the start of the hyposensitization, she was free of symptoms after unprotected coitus.
