Abstract
A case of pituitary dwarfism (inhibition of growth and sexual retardation) in a 19-year-old male showing evidence of congenital toxoplasmosis, is presented. The possibility is discussed, that toxoplasma infection of the pituitary or hypothalamus may have been the cause of the pituitary hypofunction.Keywords
