“…Majority of these patients have hormone deficiencies as shown in Table 1. The most frequent hormone deficiencies encountered in these patients are adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and hyperprolactinemia [5][6][7]. However, growth hormone (GH) reserve was not assessed in most of these patients.…”

Following widespread use of imaging, detection rate of abnormal sites of parenchymal neuro-tuberculosis is on a rise. A handful of cases of tuberculomas/abscesses in hypothalamo-pituitary region have been reported and most of them are diagnosed on surgical histopathology. We describe a patient of suprasellar tubercular abscess, who presented with visual disturbances, diabetes insipidus with panhypopituitarism and on histopathology had granulomas and positive acid fast bacilli.

“…Inflammatory or infectious processes involving the pituitary gland are often associated with a history of prior or concurrent systemic involvement [2]. However, rarely cases of isolated tuberculoma [11] or neurosarcoidosis [12,13] without any systemic manifestations have been reported.…”

“…Patients may be relatively asymptomatic, and the endocrine abnormalities may be subtle and noted only on detailed investigation. Any portion of the pituitary (including anterior, posterior, and the stalk) or the hypothalamus can be involved; consequently, presentations can vary and include growth retardation, hypogonadism, galactorrhea-amenorrhea related to excess prolactin secretion, diabetes insipidus, and even panhypopituitarism (68,(70)(71)(72)(73)(74).…”

Tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infections

Endocrine and metabolic derangements are infrequent in patients with tuberculosis, but they are important when they occur. The basis for these abnormalities is complex. While Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been described to infect virtually every endocrine gland, the incidence of gland involvement is low, especially in the era of effective antituberculosis therapy. Furthermore, endocrine and metabolic abnormalities do not always reflect direct infection of the gland but may result from physiological response or as a consequence of therapy. Metabolic disease may also predispose patients to the development of active tuberculosis, particularly in the case of diabetes mellitus. While hormonal therapy may be necessary in some instances, frequently these endocrine complications do not require specific interventions other than antituberculous therapy itself. With the exception of diabetes mellitus, which will be covered elsewhere, this chapter reviews the endocrinologic and metabolic issues related to tuberculosis.
