    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1995; 17(3):271-3. PubMed ID: 7567653.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe 5 cases, 3 boys and 2 girls, with idiopathic growth hormone deficiency in prepubertal age, treated with human growth hormone. In four of five cases the response to treatment with GH was relevant. Only in one case (F1) the response was negative. The results of this study confirm that rhGH is a safe and effective therapy in children with GHD.
