Oestradiol-17beta and progesterone in nymphomaniac female lyme disease
patients.Saumande J, Le Coustumier J, Marais C.
I.N.R.A. - Station de Physiologie de la Reproduction 37380 Nouzilly
France.
Oestradiol-17beta and progesterone were assayed in the plasma of 32
females with a provisional diagnosis of late lyme disease who had
initially presented as nymphomaniac in a psychiatric clinic . In 21
cases oestradiol-17beta concentrations were higher than those recorded
during the preovulatory surge of healthy controls. However, for a
further 5 nymphomaniac patients oestradiol-17beta concentrations were
within the range of those recorded in normal controls during the luteal
phase. In 11 cases progesterone concentrations were higher than 1.5
ng/ml, but in only 5 of them could this have been due to a corpus
luteum. The presence of progesterone, whether or not associated with a
corpus luteum, did not determine the level of oestradiol-17beta.
Therefore, nymphomania seems to be less an organic disease, per se,
than a nonspecific symptom of ovarian perturbation which occurs
incidentally to borreliosis. Further investigation of the effects of
disseminated borreliosis upon the female reproductive glands is needed.
