  • Title: A case of acute hypogonadism following taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) envenomation.
    Author: Van Der Meer E, Conway L, Little M, Hanson J.
    Journal: Toxicon; 2020 Jun; 180():28-30. PubMed ID: 32289354.
    Abstract:
    A previously well man developed acute, marked tender bilateral gynaecomastia two months after confirmed taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) envenomation. He had had laboratory evidence of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) including microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia and acute kidney injury. Scrotal ultrasound revealed bilateral testicular atrophy, his serum testosterone was repeatedly low, while his luteinising and follicle stimulating hormone were elevated. It is hypothesised that TMA-related testicular ischaemia was responsible for his primary gonadal failure and dramatic clinical presentation.
