Little information is available on susceptibility to milder forms of infections, especially those not requiring hospitalization.

The ICARO questionnaire showed good test\u2013retest reliability.

Compared to controls, CS was associated with higher odds of urinary tract infections (UTIs) (5.1 (2.3\u20139.9)), mycoses (4.4 (2.1\u20138.8)), and flu (2.9 (1.4\u20135.8)). Patients with adrenal incidentaloma and MACS also showed an increased risk of UTIs (3.7 (1.7\u20138.0)) and flu (3.2 (1.5\u20136.9)). Post-dexamethasone cortisol levels correlated with the ICARO score in patients with CS. AI was associated with higher odds of UTIs (2.5 (1.6\u20133.9)), mycoses (2.3 (1.4\u20133.8)), and gastrointestinal infections (2.2 (1.5\u20133.3)), independently of any glucocorticoid replacement dose.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The ICARO tool revealed a high prevalence of self-reported infections in patients with glucocorticoid disorders.
