(First Department of Paediatrics of Athens University, “Aghia Sophia” Children's Hospital, Athens, Greece). Diabetes mellitus and Addison's disease in an adolescent female. Acta Paediatr Scand, 70: 949, 1981.‐This short report describes a 16‐year‐old female who presented with Addison's disease 6 years after diabetes mellitus had been diagnosed. The possibility of both conditions being present should be borne in mind whenever an unexplained reduction of insulin requirements is noted, especially if this is accompanied by cutaneous pigmentation. The metabolic interrelationships of the two conditions are briefly discussed.
