Three consecutive cases of Addison's disease without increased pigmentation are described. We suggest that the absence of this important physical sign contributed to serious delays in diagnosis and markedly increased morbidity. We emphasize that, despite the usual textbook description, excess pigmentation is not necessarily a feature of Addison's disease.
本文描述了三例连续发生的无色素沉着增加的艾迪生病病例。我们认为,这一重要体征的缺失导致了诊断的严重延迟,并显著增加了发病率。我们强调,尽管通常的教科书描述如此,但色素沉着过多并不一定是艾迪生病的特征。
