Abstract

The article describes a clinical case of primary adrenal insufficiency which manifested at an atypically advanced age. Primary adrenal insufficiency combined with other clinical symptoms suggested the autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1. Subsequently, the diagnosis was confirmed by the results of genetic testing. The particulars of the clinical case include the age of patient at manifestation of the disease (49  years). The lack of treatment resulted in dramatic clinical decompensation. This clinical case is intended to draw clinicians' attention to the necessity of detection of primary adrenal insufficiency and appropriate and timely treatment. Taking into account eventual diagnostic problems, it is necessary to raise awareness about this disease among practicing doctors of various specialties.
