Infectious causes of adrenal insufficiency Alevritis EM; Sarubbi FA; Jordan RM; Peiris ANSouth Med J 2003[Sep]; 96 (9): 888-90More than 150 years ago, Thomas Addison first described the clinical features and pathogenesis of adrenal insufficiency. At that time, tuberculosis was the most common cause of this disease. The pathway to diagnosis and treatment of Addison's disease has been well described. However, determining the cause of the disorder remains a challenge. It is important to consider recently described infectious agents in the pathogenesis of Addison's disease. Mycobacterial, bacterial, viral, and fungal infections may lead to the development of adrenal insufficiency. Skin, pulmonary, and imaging findings can aid the clinician in making a prompt diagnosis of specific infections, which is crucial because early identification of infectious causes of Addison's disease may enable recovery of adrenal function. This review describes the clinical presentations of the multiple infectious causes of adrenal insufficiency.|Adrenal Insufficiency/*etiology/*microbiology/virology[MESH]|Communicable Diseases/*complications/*microbiology/virology[MESH]|Humans[MESH] |
