    Author: Schotte U, Caduff R, Meyenberger C, Baer S, Greminger P.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1990 Dec 04; 79(49):1541-4. PubMed ID: 2124719.
    Abstract:
    A 69-year-old female was admitted because of a febrile state, somnolence, nausea and diarrhea. Addison's disease known to have developed several years earlier after adrenal tuberculosis suggested Addisonian crisis triggered by an acute infection. Therapy with steroids and substitution of electrolytes and fluid led to rapid improvement. Streptococcus bovis was identified as causative agent. The known association of this germ with cancer of the colon led to further investigation which revealed cancer of the sigmoid and incidental cancer of a salpinx. After surgical removal of both cancers, the patient has remained free of complaints under substitution of steroids.
