I noted with interest the title, “Sixteen diseases not to miss in the office” in the March BCMJ (2006;48[2]:84-85) [9] and made a partial list of my own before reading this worthwhile article.
The top two on my list were celiac disease and hemochromatosis. These not uncommon conditions are easily missed.
