Abstract
We describe a 39-year-old woman who developed Addison's disease 2 years after diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Examining her initial presentation, there is evidence to suggest that adrenal dysfunction may have commenced at the time of diagnosis of SLE. We suggest the need for considering adrenal dysfunction in patients with SLE with systemic complaints.
