It was not that the adrenal problems themselves may be contagious that the study addressed, but that there may be a contributing quiet illness. Such studies are very hard to do and typically take a long time but when they pan out major strides can be made. Lymphoma (the regular sort, not JL) is also something which has come under study for a possible contributing silent viral trigger as part of the equation. [Posted in FML issue 3453]
