Thyrotoxicosis in a patient with Addison's disease.
We report the case of a patient who suffered recurrent episodes of hypoadrenal crisis, despite conventional replacement therapy for Addison's disease. She was found to have hyperthyroidism and after this was treated, she had no further relapse. Thyrotoxicosis should be considered when patients taking replacement therapy for Addison's disease present in hypoadrenal crisis.
