title: Congenital toxoplasmosis presenting as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
abstract: A 17-yr-old boy presented with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism due to sequelae of intrauterine infection with Toxoplasma Gondii. Neuroendocrine manifestations of congenital toxoplasmosis are especially uncommon. It is our attempt to stress the importance of endocrine monitoring for early recognition of treatable sequelae. This may help to improve the quality of life in these patients.
