 AB    The purpose of the study was to determine the glucocorticoid reserve in
       patients with AIDS. Thirty patients with AIDS, who were not critically
       ill, were chosen consecutively and studied prospectively over a 1-year
       period with cosyntropin-stimulation testing. All patients showed normal
       glucocorticoid response to cosyntropin stimulation. Clinical adrenal
       insufficiency is uncommon in patients with AIDS who are not critically
       ill.
