Addison's disease (primary adrenocortical insufficiency) is a rare condition that develops when the adrenal glands, located above the kidneys, are not able to produce enough of the hormones cortisol and, less commonly, aldosterone. Cortisol affects almost every organ in the body and is important for normal body function. The adrenal glands release cortisol to help the body cope with stress from illness, injury, surgery, childbirth, or other reasons.

Addison's disease usually develops when the body's immune system destroys the part of the adrenal glands that produces cortisol and aldosterone. Addison's disease also can develop when the adrenal glands are destroyed by: Infections, such as tuberculosis, HIV, or certain bacterial infections, such as meningococcemia (caused by meningococcal bacteria in the bloodstream). Injury to the adrenal glands during the late stages of pregnancy or during the delivery of the baby. This is rare.

Addison's disease is diagnosed by taking your medical history, a physical examination, and laboratory tests. During the medical history, your health professional will ask about your symptoms, whether you have a family history of the condition, and whether you have had cancer, tuberculosis, or HIV infection. During the physical examination, your health professional will check for hyperpigmentation and dehydration.

This is a condition where the adrenal glands have become so exhausted that they no longer secrete an adequate amount of natural steroid type body hormones. President John F.

Legionnaires’ disease (LEE-juh-nares) is caused by a type of bacteria called Legionella. The bacteria got its name in 1976, when many people who went to a Philadelphia convention of the American Legion suffered from an outbreak of this disease, a type of pneumonia (lung infection). Although this type of bacteria was around before1976, more illness from Legionnaires’ disease is being detected now. This is because we are now looking for this disease whenever a patient has pneumonia.
