Adrenal Insufficiency due to Disseminated <i>Cryptococcus</i> in an Immunocompetent Individual. [PDF]

Case Rep Endocrinol
Primary adrenal insufficiency due to infiltrative fungal infections, such as Cryptococcus neoformans, is rare, particularly in immunocompetent patients. We present a case of an immunocompetent 61‐year‐old man who presented with bilateral adrenal enlargement and adrenal insufficiency, with a 3‐month history of generalised fatigue, weight loss and ...

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Induced Endocrine Dysfunction: Early Detection of Symptoms and Timely Intervention. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause immune‐related adverse events (irAEs), including hypophysitis—particularly with CTLA‐4 inhibitors. Atypical presentations in older patients may mimic cancer‐related fatigue or treatment side effects, delaying diagnosis.

Presumptive nontraumatic adrenal hemorrhage preceding hypoadrenocorticism in a dog

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 2160-2164, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Nontraumatic adrenal hemorrhage (NTAH) has been associated with stress‐induced catecholamines release in underlying conditions such as sepsis and recent surgery in humans. It can lead to primary hypoadrenocorticism (HOAC) when both adrenal glands are involved, with nonspecific clinical signs and laboratory findings that can lead to a missed ...

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Implications of Organic Delusional Disorder due to Tuberculous Adrenalitis

Case Reports in Psychiatry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Primary adrenal insufficiency rarely occurs due to infections, which consequently involves destruction or dysfunction of both adrenal cortices. Tuberculous adrenalitis is still a frequent cause of adrenal insufficiency in developing countries. We present the case of origin of multiple delusions along with recurrent spells of vomiting and giddiness in a
