We conducted a prevalence study using a postal survey of general practitioners in Coventry. Three quarters (139\/188) replied, representing 79\/85 (93%) of the practices. Thirty cases of Addision's disease were found from a total patient list of 323852, of which a third were tuberculous in origin and two-thirds non-tuberculous (12\/30 autoimmune, 8\/30 unclassified). We conclude that Addison's disease is 2.4 times more common than previously reported. The tuberculous group was older, 65 vs 52 years (p &amp;lt; 0.05), and had had the disease for longer than the non-tuberculous group, 20 vs 12 years (p &amp;lt; 0.05). There was no significant difference in the age at diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.73.859.286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T21:49:00Z","timestamp":1230587340000},"page":"286-288","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":113,"title":["The prevalence of Addison's disease in Coventry, UK"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"A C","family":"Willis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital , Stoney Stanton Road, Coventry, West Midlands CV1 4FH, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F P","family":"Vince","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital , Stoney Stanton Road, Coventry, West Midlands CV1 4FH, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"744","article-title":"Epidemiological and clinical picture of Addison's disease","volume":"ii:","author":"Mason, A.S.; Meade, T.W.; Lee, J.A.H.; Morris, J.N.","year":"1968","unstructured":"Mason AS, Meade TW, Lee JAH, Morris JN.
