Late-onset 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is a congenital enzymatic defect in the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid steroidogenic pathways. The manifestations, including hirsutism and infertility, usually occur at puberty or young adulthood. In infertile, anovulatory women with late-onset 21-OHD, the usual therapy is glucocorticoids for ovulation induction. In this case, we report the sole use of clomiphene citrate to induce ovulation in a patient with late-onset 21-OHD. A hirsute and oligomenorrheic woman was diagnosed as having polycystic ovary syndrome at age 25. Her hirsutism responded to oral contraceptives. At age 31, she was given clomiphene citrate alone for ovulation induction and conceived in her fourth cycle. At age 36, because of increased hirsutism she was diagnosed with late-onset 21-OHD by an ACTH stimulation test. The induction of ovulation in late-onset 21-OHD patients has been with glucocorticoids. Given the success in inducing ovulation with clomiphene citrate alone in this patient with well-documented late-onset 21-OHD, it may be worthwhile to study the sole use of clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction in these patients.

The plasma concentrations of total testosterone, free testosterone index, androstenedione, 17 beta-estradiol, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, and urinary 17-ketosteroid and 17-ketogenic steroid excretion were measured in 48 nonhirsute and 119 hirsute patients. Hormone data were compared within and between groups according to whether the menstrual cycles were eumenorrheic, amenorrheic, or oligomenorrheic. Eleven hirsute women treated with prednisone were followed for 6 months. It was concluded that: (1) androstenedione, testosterone, free testosterone index, and adrenal androgens alone or in combination play a role in the pathogenesis of the hirsutism observed in eumenorrheic women and in the amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea of both hirsute and nonhirsute women; (2) body weight correlated with adrenal adrogens (17-ketosteroids) in nonhirsute women and with androstenedione in hirsute women; (3) prednisone significantly suppressed androstenedione and 17-ketosteroids (p less than 0.05), with a decline of testosterone to 65% and luteinizing hormone to 51% of pretreatment values, with favorable clinical effects on the hirsutism, menstrual dysfunction, and infertility; (4) concentrations of 17 beta-estradiol were lower in amenorrheic than in eumenorrheic and oligomenorrheic women of both groups.

Twenty-six daughters born to amenorrheic women after gonadotropin-induced ovulation were studied at 10 to 16 years of age. The aim of the study was to assess whether the mothers' condition, namely, amenorrhea and infertility followed by the pharmacologic induction of ovulation, had any effect on their female offspring in terms of endocrine disorders at puberty. The daughters were found to have normal onset of puberty as well as normal physical and mental development. The mean age at menarche, body weight, and height were similar to those of the general female population in Israel. A functioning hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis was evidenced by the appearance of menarche followed by regular cycles. These data form a reassuring sample for the clinicians, the treated mothers, and their offspring.

During a 10-year period, 428 women received clomiphene citrate according to a graduated therapeutic regimen in which the dose of clomiphene and the laboratory studies were individualized according to each patient's history, examination and response. Of the 428 patients, 85.3% ovulated and 42.8% conceived. The great majority of those who conceived did so during the first three ovulatory cycles. There was no evidence that clomiphene therapy was associated with the induction of another cause of infertility. Overall, 88.2% of those with no other causes for infertility who ovulated also conceived. However, only 7.8% of those who had one or more factors in addition to anovulation became pregnant. There was no evidence that clomiphene adversely affected the postcoital test, as only 15% of the patients had poor cervical mucus. The low rate of complications of this treatment, 5.1% cyst formation as well as the 14% abortion rate and the 2.6% congenital anomaly rate and the excellent gestational outcome in those who conceived support the use of this treatment regimen.

Serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) was measured in 32 infertility patients who were found to be ovulatory, in 37 women with oligomenorrhea, and in 52 hirsute patients under basal conditions. It was also measured in conjunction with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation and dexamethasone suppression in 10 of the hirsute women. Serum DHEAS levels were elevated in only 19% of the infertile women with regular ovulation, in 34% of the oligomenorrheic patients, and in 60% of the hirsute women. Of the C-19 steroids (androgens) measured in the 52 hirsute women, ie, total and unbound serum testosterone (T), androstenedione (A), and DHEAS, unbound serum T was most frequently elevated. Eighty-two percent of the hirsute women had either an elevated serum DHEAS level or an increased unbound T level, suggesting 1) that elevations in unbound serum T may be associated with or result from increased serum DHEAS levels and 2) that only a minority of women with so-called idiopathic hirsutism do not have demonstrable androgen excess. Three of 10 hirsute women with elevated serum DHEAS levels had an increased ACTH-induced rise in DHEAS. Dexamethasone given as a single daily dose of 0.5 mg at bedtime resulted in a marked decrease in serum DHEAS in all of the 10 hirsute patients tested within 2 weeks of therapy. Thus, serum DHEAS is a clinically useful indication of adrenal C-19 steroid secretion. When combined with clinical and other hormonal evaluations, its measurement adds an important dimension to the study of gynecologic endocrinology and infertility.

45 women who were infertile with primary or secondary infertility were studied. The only abnormality that was found was biological, and it was a 24-hour excretion of urinary 17-ketosteroids higher than 35 micromoles. Treatment with cortisone derivatives resulted in 56 pregnancies, which were studied to their term whether it was abortion or delivery. The theoretical and practical aspects, as well as the diagnoses and treatments, are discussed.

This is a report of a case of a case of amenorrhoea-galactorrhoea syndrome with hyperprolactinaemia associated with increase of plasma androstenedione and urinary 17-ketosteroids, gradually developed in a sterile subject. Plasma LH and testosterone levels and the results of adrenal suppression and ovarian stimulation tests seem to prove, point towards, the adrenal as the likely source of androgens. Treatment with bromocryptin for 20 weeks brought about a reduction to normal of both PRL and androgens. Resumption of ovulatory cycles followed thereafter and a pregnancy eventually occurred.

Thirty patients with mild post-pubertal adrenal hyperplasia, characterized by raised urinary 17-oxosteroid levels and variable combinations of irregular menses, hirsuties, infertility, and spontaneous abortion, were treated with 2.5 to 10 mg of prednisone per day and all conceived (55 pregnancies). With this treatment, regular, ovulatory cycles occurred immediately in 25 patients, and after two to six months, in the rest. Treatment reduced raised 17-oxosteroid levels to normal and brought about some improvement in hirsuties and acne. Forty-seven pregnancies ended in the birth of liveborn infants; one of these died of prematurity and another had congenital emphysema. One pregnancy was terminated, two were of unknown outcome and five (9.4%) ended in abortion. Before treatment, 20 out of 22 pregnancies (91%) had ended in abortion.

Ninety-three infertile women were treated with clomiphene citrate alone or in combination with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for absent or infrequent ovulation. The patients were divided into eight categories according to the diagnosis obtained: ovarian androgenic hyperplasia, adrenal androgenic hyperplasia, mixed ovarian and adrenal androgenic hyperplasia, hypothalamic anovulation, postpill anovulation, follicular phase defect, luteal phase defect, and amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome. Each group was analyzed individually to compare the ovulation and conception rates and the complications involved. A survey of the data presented in this study shows that the best response was noted in patients with ovarian androgenic hyperplasia. Patients with a functional pathologic adrenal component responded favorably when dexamethasone was used as an adjuvant to clomiphene therapy. Those with hypothalamic anovulation responded better when hCG was added to clomiphene therapy. Women with postpill anovulation as well as those with follicular phase defect were found to be good candidates for clomiphene therapy. In properly selected patients with poor luteal phase defect, hCG secured excellent results both in ovulation and conception. Patients with lactation amenorrhea failed to ovulate when treated with clomiphene alone.

A case of adrenogenital syndrome due to 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency is described in a mother, 25 years of age, who had experienced a successful pregnancy 5 years previously. At that time no abnormality had been suspected and pregnancy was achieved without therapy. Subsequently the patient was examined because of secondary sterility. The menstrual cycles were anovulatory. Only slight virilization was observed and blood pressure was normal. Diagnosis was based on the observation of highly increased urinary excretion of 17-ketosteroids and 17-ketogenic steroids, with especially high excretion of tetrahydro-11-deoxycortisol. Following suppression with dexamethasone and adequate maintenance treatment, the patient conceived and had an uneventful pregnancy. This is apparently the first report of pregnancy in adrenogenital syndrome due to 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency.
