Addison-disease - an unusual clinical manifestation of CMV-end organ disease in pediatric AIDS

CMV infection is common in pediatric HIV-1 infected patients. We present a case report, to our knowledge the first pediatric patient, in which Addison-disease due to CMV was suspected during lifetime. We want to point out the importance of routine clinical and laboratory follow up once a HIV-1 infected child is shown to be infected with CMV.
