Popis: Patients with Shy-Drager syndrome have impaired baroreceptor-mediated vasopressin release when inan upright position. We report a case of Shy-Drager syndrome in which the syndrome of inappropriate secretionof antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) developed with pneumonia. It has been speculated that pneumonia-induced SIADH is caused by baroreceptor-mediated vasopressin release. Our case presents the possibilitythat pneumonia-induced SIADH is caused by non-baroreceptor-mediated ADH release.
