Postnatal Virilization Mimicking 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency in 3 Very Premature Infants Full Text
Pediatrics, 05/17/2012
Couch R et al. – Postnatal virilization in sick premature girls may occur, and investigations may suggest 21–hydroxylase deficiency. Genetic analysis of CYP21 should be performed before the diagnosis is confirmed. Further studies are needed to better document the natural history and possible causes of postnatal adrenal androgen secretion in sick premature infants.
