Prevalence of Adrenal Insufficiency and Adrenal Morphology in Treatment‐Naïve Tuberculosis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study From a High‐Burden Region
AI is rare (1%) in treatment-naïve TB patients despite the overlapping clinical features in a significant proportion. Subtle adrenal morphological changes without enlargement suggest early TB-related alterations without overt dysfunction. Future research should prioritize larger TB cohorts including Extrapulmonary TB to enhance detection of adrenal pathology while minimizing radiation exposure with detailed immune assessments.
