Abstract EN
Infections of the adrenal glands remain an important cause of adrenal insufficiency, especially in the developing world.
Indeed, when Thomas Addison first described the condition that now bears his name over 150 years ago, the vast majority of cases were attributable to tuberculosis.
Here we describe a classic, but relatively uncommon, presentation in the United States of adrenal insufficiency followed by a review of the current literature pertaining to adrenal infections.
