RESUMO
Adrenal crisis (AC) is a rare but known life-threatening condition in patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI). We report the case of a 21-year-old without known AI who developed AC after routine vaccinations. Workup revealed that the patient had underlying, undiagnosed autoimmune adrenalitis. This is the first report of AC induced by influenza and diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccinations in a patient without known AI.
