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.
