[Addison's diseases caused by adrenal tuberculosis--case report].
A case of adrenal tuberculosis with acute Addison's disease is described. The disease manifested acute as suprarenal crisis. Metastatic and autoimmunological (antisuprarenal antibodies were not found) etiology was excluded. Computed tomography demonstrated calcifications in both, enlarged adrenals. After antituberculosis treatment and corticosteroid therapy we observed significant improvement in our patient's condition.
