Hypocortisolism in survivors of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) - Leow - 2005 - Clinical Endocrinology

We hypothesize that an endocrinological basis could account for some of these extrapulmonary symptoms due to their resemblance to various hormonal and metabolic disorders that frequently feature nonspecific symptomatology.1 Studies have linked aberrations in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis to psychiatric conditions.2 Moreover, correlations of hypothalamo–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis dysfunction with certain psychosomatic syndromes have been described.3 The primary focus of this prospective study is to determine the existence of any chronic HPA axis sequelae in SARS survivors, while characterization of their prognostic outcomes and the presence of any HPT axis dysfunction constitutes its secondary objective.
