Abstract
Addison’s Disease that evolved due to infection or caused by autoimmune disease is a hypofunction of the adrenal gland. Addisson’s Disease might develop due to microsomal enzyme induction associated with treatment with Rifampisin. It is noted that the case reports of those who were diagnosed with Addison’s Disease after the antituberculosis treatment had been started. However, there are no cases where Addison’s Disease developed in the late period of antituberculosis treatment in the literature.
