Post mortem diagnosed pathomorphological lesions in adrenals of piglets which had died due to various diseases were described. The severity of degenerative and inflammatory lesions can be attributed to acute adrenal crisis in these piglets. Results of study indicated the possibility of the occurence in piglets of secondary, acute adrenocortical damage, during the course of enteric and pulmonary diseases. These changes could be the direct cause of the pigletsʼ death, because of the severe adrenocortical insufficiency which had developed.
