The underlying diseases found in most patients were systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and tuberculosis. Among the patients, 29 had FSH, LH, and estradiol levels measured. The results of hormonal assays showed a wide range of abnormal serum levels, with normal to low concentrations of FSH and low levels of LH and estradiol. The median (interquartile range) results for FSH, LH, and estradiol were 4.57 (0.64, 90.65), 1.635 (0.06, 55.76), and 24.3 (0.2, 154.71), respectively.
