[Functional state of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal-ovarian system in female patients with tuberculosis of the genital organs].
Blood concentrations of LH, FSH, estradiol, prolactin, growth hormone, cortisol, testosterone and progesterone have been examined in 76 patients with active tuberculosis of the internal genitalia (group 1), 18 patients with longterm sequelae of clinically asymptomatic tuberculosis (group 2) and 41 patients with nontuberculous diseases of the internal genitalia. Abnormalities were identified in 56.5% of group 1 patients, 33% of group 2 and 46.4% of group 3 patients. The patients with active tuberculosis characteristically had a low gonadotropin and estradiol secretion. High prolactin levels were related to pituitary adenoma or tuberculous infection; polycystic ovaries were a cause of testosterone and stress of examination of cortisol elevation.
