Abstract

The purpose of this work is a presentation of cases of persons with Klinefelter Syndrome where, most probably--as a result of testosterone supplementation therapy, some aggressive behaviours occurred requiring implementation of pharmacotherapy and psychiatric hospitalisation. The authors contemplate adequacy of standard hormone treatment where the main purpose is to improve the quality of life of the karyotype 47, XXY patients described. The article has been enhanced by a theoretical introduction into the basic subject which is the Klinefelter Syndrome.
