The first observations of endocrine-immune interactions were made by pathologists studying mechanisms of disease at the beginning of the twentieth century. They noted the association of thymic involution with Cushing’s syndrome and thymic hyperplasia associated with acromegaly, Graves’ and Addison’s diseases.
