What many of these cases share is the inhibition of CYP3A4 which results in supraphysiologic levels of corticosteroids (inhaled, intranasal, intra-articular, or oral) leading to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome with resultant adrenal suppression. There are also case reports of itraconazole-induced central adrenal insufficiency, but in all cases, it was thought to be due to a drug interaction with inhaled corticosteroids [13, 14].
