## TL;DR

A rare case of partial hypopituitarism with ACTH deficiency is reported as a complication of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

## Contribution

First reported case of partial hypopituitarism with ACTH deficiency as a complication of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

## Key findings

- Partial hypopituitarism with ACTH deficiency can occur in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.
- This case expands the known spectrum of pituitary complications in this disease.

## Abstract

Hypopituitarism is a relatively rare complication of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. However, almost all available reported cases were total anterior pituitary hypofunction, isolated growth-hormone deficiency, or isolated gonadotropin deficiency. Here, we firstly describe a patient with partial hypopituitarism with ACTH deficiency as the main manifestation as a complication of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.
