ABSTRACT
@#Acute adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a life-threatening condition. While Addison’s disease (AD) is rare, in developing countries, tuberculosis (TB) still remains as the primary cause in 7 to 20% of cases. Urinary TB is also the third most common form of extrapulmonary disease. We report a case of 37-year-old male who presented with weakness, anorexia, weight loss, dysuria, flank pain and low grade fever. Examination revealed hypotension, hyperpigmentation, hyponatremia, hypoglycemia and low serum cortisol. He was diagnosed to have adrenal crisis due to Addison’s disease and extrapulmonary TB manifesting as urinary tract infection (UTI). He was treated with corticosteroids and anti-TB medications. Urologic reconstructive surgery was subsequently planned.
