We present an instance of a 6-year-old boy who was admitted with adenovirus infection and developed transient acute adrenal insufficiency, which required supplementation with glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids for 8 weeks. Adenovirus has got adrenotropic potential and can cause adrenal insufficiency. We could not find any similar reported case in medical literature. We hope our case would add to the existing knowledge of adenoviral complications in paediatric patients.
我们报告了一例6岁男孩,他因腺病毒感染入院,并出现短暂性急性肾上腺功能不全,需要补充糖皮质激素和盐皮质激素8周。腺病毒具有嗜肾上腺潜能,可导致肾上腺功能不全。我们在医学文献中未发现任何类似的报道病例。我们希望我们的病例能增加对儿科患者腺病毒并发症的现有认识。
