Abstract

Recovery of the corticosteroid production was also documented (morning serum cortisol - 12.2 µg/dl, stimulated cortisol - 18.1 µg/dl). However, adrenal insufficiency is an uncommon manifestation of histoplasma infection and possibly depends on the degree of cortical involvement.[1],[2] Use of amphotericin B is recommended for critically ill patient and long term itraconazole for stable patient.[3] Medical treatment of adrenal histoplasmosis can lead to delayed radiological and hormonal recovery. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan of abdomen showed rim enhancing lesion in both adrenal glands (right: 3.8 × 2.9 cm, left: 2.3 × 2 cm) (Figure 1A). [Extracted from the article]
