A 60-year-old woman experienced back pain with a
compressed fracture of T11, easy bruisability, and cutane-
ous striae over the lower abdomen. She also experienced
mental depression, for which she took antidepressants. She
died from a disseminated cytomegalovirus infection. At au-
topsy, both adrenal glands demonstrate cortical atrophy.
Her pituitary gland is normal in appearance grossly and
microscopically. Which of the following conditions is most
likely to explain these findings?
O (A) Addison disease
O (B) Corticosteroid therapy
O (C) 21-Hydroxylase deficiency
O (D) Cushing disease
O (E) Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome
