Pituitary ischaemia\/infarction and necrosis are known causes of hypopituitarism, often remaining unrecognized because of subtle clinical manifestations.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objective\u2002<\/jats:bold> Our aim was to evaluate the effect of CCHF on pituitary function.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Subject and methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> Levels of serum free T3, free T4, TSH, GH, IGF\u2010I, prolactin, cortisol, testosterone (in men) and oestrogen (in women) were studied in 20 patients who had been diagnosed with CCHF. TRH, LH\u2010RH and 1\u2003\u03bcg adrenocorticotropin tests were performed in all patients. The hypothalamo\u2010pituitary region was examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in two patients who were diagnosed with hypocortisolism.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> We found cortisol insufficiency in 2 (10%) of the 20 with CCHF. However, hypophyseal MRI findings were normal in these two patients. None of the patients had deficiencies of GH, TSH or FSH\/LH.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the effect of CCHF on pituitary function. We found that cortisol insufficiency may occur in patients diagnosed with CCHF; however, studies including a larger number of patients are required to make a definite conclusion on this issue.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2265.2011.04173.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,7,18]],"date-time":"2011-07-18T12:33:49Z","timestamp":1310992429000},"page":"241-245","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Acute evaluation of pituitary function in patients with Crimean\u2010Congo haemorrhagic fever"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Fatih","family":"Kilicli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hatice S.","family":"Dokmetas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0130lyas","family":"Dokmetas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.idc.2008.05.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","volume-title":"Reports of the Communicable Diseases Department","author":"Ministry of Health, Turkey","year":"2007"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2009.01.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","first-page":"839","article-title":"Immunohistochemical and in situ localization of Crimean\u2010Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus in human tissues and implications for CCHF pathogenesis","volume":"121","author":"Burt F.J.","year":"1997","journal-title":"Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coi.2005.05.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","first-page":"175","article-title":"Pituitary haemorrhage as a complication of hantaviral disease","volume":"16","author":"Suh D.C.","year":"1995","journal-title":"AJNR.
