COVID-19 is a potentially serious new infection firstly broken out in the North East Italy during Spring 2020. Patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) have a known increased risk of infections, that could precipitate to adrenal crisis. Even COVID-19-related psycho-social impact could affect their health, requiring a dynamic adaptation of daily glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of COVID-19 infection and self-reported outcomes in AI patients after the first pandemic waves.

COVID-19 is a potentially serious new infection firstly broken out in the North East Italy during Spring 2020. Patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) have a known increased risk of infections, that could precipitate to adrenal crisis. Even COVID-19-related psycho-social impact could affect their health, requiring a dynamic adaptation of daily glucocorticoid (GC) therapy.
