Abstract

Here, we report a case of a febrile patient with primary bilateral adrenalitis who was successfully treated with an antituberculous regimen. Primary isolated tubercular adrenalitis is a very rare clinical entity but it should be considered in cases of fever and enlargement of the adrenal glands. Integration of radiological pattern data with epidemiological, clinical and immunological data has high accuracy and specificity, even without histological examination.
