Twenty-four patients had various underlying diseases, including
cardiovascular disorders in 13 patients, diabetes mellitus in 10,
hepatobiliary disorders in 6, history of cerebrovascular accidents in 3,
chronic renal diseases in 2, pulmonary fibrosis in 1, history of
intravenous drug abuse in 1, and adrenal insufficiency in 1. Although primary adrenal insufficiency is rare, the indirect effects
of pathology, illness, medications, and arousal are clinically

children, and adrenal insufficiency may be accompanied by underactive
parathyroid glands, slow sexual development, pernicious anemia, chronic
candida infections, chronic active hepatitis, and, in very rare cases,
hair loss. |
