ABSTRACT
COVID-19 (corona virus disease 2019), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread throughout the globe and affected millions of people worldwide. Here, we report a patient with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2 who presented with adrenal crisis, precipitated by COVID-19. We intend to highlight the importance of stress dosing in preventing adrenal crisis in patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI). A uniform structured education programme is needed to improve knowledge and practices in patients with AI in our country.
