Non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia by 21 hydroxylase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disease whose usual presentation a late virilization. In some African countries like Morocco, there are cultural barriers to gynecological examination in girls, women consult until for sexual problem as the case of our patient who consulted clitoris hypertrophy at age 22 years and hormonal assess...

A 19 year old Mauritian male presented with episodic nausea, abdominal discomfort and jaundice. Unconjugated hyperbilirubinaemia and erythroid hyperplasia without dyserythropoiesis led to the diagnosis of primary shunt hyperbilirubinaemia. The similarity between congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia and this entity suggests that patients with these lesions can be considered within a single spect...

The aim of this study was to see if there were any changes in the morphology of the adrenal glands of turkeys after varying levels of forced training. Birds of the first group had no training (Control); birds of the second group were trained from their second week of life to their eighth week (T 2-8) and birds of the third group were trained from their second week of life until 20 weeks of age ...

PATIENT We describe a patient from abroad who first presented to us at age 7 years for follow-up of ambiguous genitalia. He had been investigated and treated in Pakistan at 3-years-of-age ...

Measurement of 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) in daily dried blood spot profiles via radioimmunoassay is a convenient and accepted method for monitoring of glucocorticoid therapy in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. Characteristics of this method that serve to limit its clinical usefulness include its lack of specificity for 17-OHP, and a relatively high limit of detection. Mass Spectroscopy is ...
