This article discusses a rare case of Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) presenting as Primary Adrenal Insufficiency (PAI) in a 43-year-old male. The patient experienced symptoms such as fever, flank pain, dizziness, and fatigue. Blood tests revealed thrombocytopenia and further investigations showed enlarged adrenal glands with hemorrhage.
