| Description | Addison’s disease or primary adrenal insufficiency is a well-recognised fatal endocrine condition among HIV-infected patients. HIV infection is associated with adrenal gland destruction and profound disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis. We describe a case of HIV-associated Addison’s disease in a 58-year-old newly diagnosed HIV-seropositive male patient, highlighting its occurrence in this era of HIV/AIDS pandemic. | |
