Abstract EN
Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare but potentially fatal disorder characterized by a loss of fluid and proteins into the interstitial space leading to intravascular hypovolemia up to the point of hypovolemic shock.
We report the case of a 64-year-old man with SCLS and multiple hormone abnormalities (primary hypothyroidism, hypoadrenalism, and hypogonadism), deficiency of hormone binding globulins, and hypogammaglobulinemia.
The patient was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulins, theophylline, and terbutaline.
Strikingly, with the dissolution of peripheral edema, hormone levels improved.
To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of SCLS associated with polyglandular abnormalities.
