Abstract:
A case of bilateral isolated adrenal coccidioidomycosis in a previously healthy and immunocompetent 43-year-old Caucasian male is presented. He had never travelled to a coccidioidomycosis endemic area. Subclinical adrenal dysfunction was found with elevated plasma ACTH and mineralocorticosteroid and androgen pathway abnormalities. The implement of the fungal infection on adrenal function, and the diagnosis and management of adrenal coccidioidomycosis are discussed.
