RESUMO
The development and systematic use of microserological techniques have allowed to identify the etiology of a higher number of respiratory diseases, that could hardly have been considered some years ago and that now are known to play a more common role in clinical practice than usually thought. In the present study, the clinical, radiological and epidemiological features of seven patients are reported; they were seen in our health center during a 16 month period and the diagnosis of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia was made by serological studies. All patients were treated with erithromycin, with favorable clinical and radiological outcome. Psittacosis is a condition that should be considered as a cause of community acquired pneumonia even in the absence of suggestive epidemiological background.

Authors present a case of Maestre de San Juan-Kallman syndrome in a male 14 year old, with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and anosmia, and with other associated malformations (cryptorchism, epilepsy, hypoacusia and chromosomal anomalies). Standard values of FSH and LH are undetectable. After stimulation with LH-RH, a continued release of gonadotropins is produced. With the clomiphene stimulation there is a negative response.
