Overview
Causes
Adrenal hemorrhage occurs secondary to both traumatic conditions and atraumatic conditions. Atraumatic causes of adrenal hemorrhage include:
- Stress
- Hemorrhagic diathesis or coagulopathy
- Neonatal stress
- Underlying adrenal tumors
- Idiopathic disease
WFS can also be caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, a common bacterial pathogen typically associated with meningitis in the adult and elderly population.[1] Staphylococcus aureus has recently also been implicated in pediatric WFS.[2]
