Overview
Laboratory Findings
- Synachten test demonstrates the acute suprarenal failure
- Leukocytosis need not to be extreme and in fact leukopenia may be seen and it is a very poor prognostic sign
- CRP levels can be elevated or almost normal
- Thrombocytopenia is sometimes extreme
- Acidosis and acute renal failure can be seen as in any severe sepsis.
- Meningococci can be readily cultured from blood or CSF, and can sometimes be seen in smears of cutaneous lesions
