ABSTRACT
@#One of the neglected complications of patients with HIV/AIDS is primary adrenal insufficiency also known as Addison’s disease. This condition can be caused by several mechanisms, such as tuberculosis, CMV, cryptococcal, or HIV-related adrenalitis, and also drugs commonly used for HIV/AIDS especially antifungal therapy. This is a case report of a man infected with HIV/AIDS and multiple opportunistic infections. He reported darkening of the skin and reduction of body hair 4 months after diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. From the clinical features and laboratory examinations, he was diagnosed as having primary adrenal insufficiency and was then treated with longterm corticosteroids.
