ABSTRACT A 40 year old lady presented with the classical clinical features of Addison's disease which on further investigations with an ultrasound abdomen showed a right suprarenal mass. This was subjected to a fine needle aspiration which revealed pus which on culture grew Klebsiella pneumoniae. Patient responded well to steroids and antibiotics. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of Klebsiella pneumoniae in association with Addison's disease.
