Women (45) with primary or secondary infertility were studied. The only abnormality that was found was biological, and it was a 24 h excretion of urinary 17-ketosteroids > 35 micromol. Treatment with cortisone derivatives resulted in 56 pregnancies which were studied to term, whether abortions or deliveries. The theoretical and practical aspects, as well as the diagnoses and treatments, are discussed.
