摘要

We report on a patient with uncontrolled epilepsy, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and systemic lupus erythematosus in a rural setting of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Introduction Gonadal function is significantly affected in many acute and chronic systemic diseases. As the function of the testes and the ovaries is determined by the integrity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis, it is obvious that a systemic disease may affect one or more levels of the axis in such a manner that the gonadal dysfunction may have various clinical and laboratory manifestations. In this brief review, the most common disturbances seen in the main systemic diseases will be discussed, and the relationship between epilepsy, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and systemic lupus erythematosus examined. Case Report A 23 year old male presented at Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital (Mthatha) with a longstanding history of uncontrolled epilepsy. He experienced up to 2 fits per day, which were generalised tonic-clonic. The patient claimed to be compliant on an unknown dose of carbamazepine and phenobarb, which he received at a peripheral clinic.According to his family the patient had a normal development as a young child, but at the age of 12 he developed a malar rash, and all developmental progression seized. This developmental delay was never brought under the attention of any health worker.On examination the patient was in a good general condition, with normal vital signs. A malar rash was evident. He had an abnormally short stature of 149 cm, no secondary sexual characteristics, and had only a right sided palpable testis. Systemic examination, including neurological, was within normal limits.
