Abstract
In 74 patients, referred between 1954 and 1967 to our Rheumatology Unit because of arthritis, we suspected hypothyroidism on clinical grounds. Laboratory confirmation was obtained in 38; five had no objective signs of arthritis, and 22 were excluded as having other causes for rheumatic symptoms and signs.Keywords
