Infection unlikely: Pituitary infection is very unlikely without an infection in a nearby part of your body such as sinusitis. An infection in another area could go to the pituitary but you would have symptoms from it. Autoimmune is most likely if none of the above. However, it is possible that an infection could cause partial loss of function but unlikely.

Rare: Please seek endocrine evaluation. Anti pituitary antibodies are not commercially avaiable (yet). Histiocytosis and TB in addition to other infiltrative diseases can affect pituitary function.
