Serum sickness disease in a patient with alopecia areata and Meniere' disease after PRP procedure

Background

Platelet Rich Plasma procedure (PRP) is considered to be one of the safest aesthetic procedures. Adverse reactions after PRP administration are extreme rare.

Purpose

We present the patient with serum sickness disease (SSD) after PRP procedure.

Objective & Methods

41 years old female suffers from alopecia areata for 5 years with frequent relapses and she has been suffering from Menier's disease recurrent symptoms for 6 years. The patient developed SSD after third PRP rejuvenating procedure and she has also noticed new alopecia areata lessions, but without Menier's disease symptoms.

Results

After SSD, 4 months later, she developed severe symptoms of Menier's disease with an episode of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. It alleviated only after intravenous administration of methylprednisolone.

Conclusion

In our opinion, significant contraindication of PRP procedure is an autoimmune disease in the active phase.
