ABSTRACT
Urinary total gonadotrophins, urinary oestrogens, and plasma-testosterone have been studied in patients with leprosy with and without gynaecomastia and testicular atrophy. Patients with gynaecomastia and testicular atrophy had significantly raised levels of gonadotrophins and lowered plasmatestosterone. It is suggested that leprous orchitis represents a form of acquired Klinefelter's syndrome.
