%X We present the case of a 58-year-old HIV-infected patient with adrenal insufficiency after local injection of triamcinolone, most likely due to drug¨Cdrug interaction with his ritonavir-boosted antiretroviral therapy (ART). This is the first case of adrenal insufficiency occurring without prior symptoms of Cushing¡¯s syndrome in a patient on a booster-containing ART. We want to draw attention to this seemingly rare, but potentially life-threatening medical condition that can occur even in short-term use of glucocorticoids in low doses in patients on booster-containing ART and summarize some considerations for management
