In this editorial the dominant sites of organ manifestations in hereditary haemochromatosis are discussed as well as conditions that can occur as a result of iron-mediated manifestations: liver disease, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, and cardiomyopathy. The incidences of these organ manifestations and their well-known typical symptomatology are mentioned, in order to investigate hereditary haemochromatosis as a possible (missed?) cause of the chronic fatigue syndrome. In particular the limitations of most studies about the prevalence of hereditary haemochromatosis in patients with the chronic fatigue syndrome are clearly summarised.
在这篇社论中，我们将讨论遗传性血色素沉着症中器官表现的主要部位，以及由铁介导的表现可能引发的病症：肝病、糖尿病、关节炎和心肌病。文中提及了这些器官表现的发病率及其众所周知的典型症状，以探究遗传性血色素沉着症是否可能是慢性疲劳综合征的（被遗漏的？）病因。特别明确总结了大多数关于慢性疲劳综合征患者中遗传性血色素沉着症患病率研究的局限性。
