ABSTRACT
We present the clinical-epidemiological results obtained in a series of 45 patients diagnosed of Addison disease between 1967 and 1988. The incidence was 0.83 cases/100,000 inhabitants/year and the prevalence was 10 cases/100,000 inhabitants. The etiology was unknown in 44.4% of cases tuberculous in 24.4% and in 31.1% of cases the caused could not be established with the classical clinical and radiological criteria. Amongst the studied variables in each etiological group, we highlight the association with other autoimmune processes and the development of extraadrenal tuberculous infection after Addison disease diagnosis. We discuss the approach to etiological diagnosis and the convenience of tuberculostatic treatment in EAT cases.
