We report a case of severe systemic delayed dermatitis in a patient with nickel-titanium sterilization microinserts placement complicated by uterine perforation and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) exposure. We hypothesize that delayed dermatitis may be caused by the exposure of PET fibers in this patient with underlying autoimmune disorder. Further research on the use of PET and the potential of systemic dermatologic reactions when exposure occurs is needed, especially when considering the inclusion of PET in future implant device development.
我们报告了一例镍钛消毒微嵌体植入术后并发子宫穿孔和聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯 (PET) 暴露的严重系统性迟发性皮炎患者。我们推测,在这名患有潜在自身免疫性疾病的患者中,可能是由于 PET 纤维的暴露导致了迟发性皮炎。需要进一步研究 PET 的使用以及暴露时发生全身性皮肤病反应的可能性,特别是在考虑将 PET 纳入未来植入物设备开发时。
