    Notes: Summary Twenty-five cases of hemochromatosis established on histological grounds were reviewed in order to study their articular complaints. Symptoms relating to articular damage were the first signs of the disease in about one quarter of the cases. More than half of the patients (n=14) exhibited inflammatory arthritis, usually of the hands and knees. The arthritis was chronic in all the patients. Acute arthritis of the joints of the hands and feet appeared in the course of the disease in two patients. Chondrocalcinosis was present in 20% of cases with X-rays of joints (n=20). The classical subchondral arthropathy was observed in the metacarpophalangeal joints in 35% of the patients. In two patients chondrocalcinosis and subchondral arthropathy were both present. These data are compared with those of 66 patients suffering from primary hyperparathyroidism and of 229 controls with rheumatic complaints. The severity of the arthropathy in hemochromatosis is stressed.

    Notes: Summary The case of a 49-year-old woman suffering from generalized skeletal pain and multiple fractures accompanied by severe hypophosphataemia and low urinary phosphorus excretion is reported. She had been taking large amounts of antacids containing aluminum hydroxide for many years. A diagnosis of antacid-induced osteomalacia was made. It was confirmed by biological work-up, radiographs and bone biopsy. A dramatic biological, osteodensitometric, and clinical improvement was achieved by withdrawal of antacids and phosphorus administration. The literature concerning this unusual condition has been reviewed.
