Hypercortisolemia is a condition involving a prolonged excess of serum levels of cortisol that can develop as a result of disregulatory abnormalities in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis or from exogenous-source steroids. Hypercortisolemia induces a state of immunocompromise that predisposes the patient to various bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections. 3, record 1, English, - hypercortisolemia
