In 1855, Thomas Addison first described adrenal insufficiency, which was subsequently named after him. The basis of Addison disease has dramatically changed since its initial description. Originally, the disease usually resulted from an infection of the adrenal gland; the most common infection was tuberculosis, which is still the predominant cause of Addison disease in developing countries. Currently, in developed countries, Addison disease most commonly results from nonspecific autoimmune destruction of the adrenal gland.  3, record 1, English, - Addison%27s%20disease

La maladie d'Addison est une maladie rare due à une atteinte des glandes corticosurrénales conduisant à un déficit total en aldostérone et en cortisol. C'est un médecin anglais, Thomas Addison, qui décrivit ses premiers cas d'insuffisance surrénale lente par destruction bilatérale des surrénales. [...] Autrefois, la maladie était due surtout à la tuberculose. À l'heure actuelle, on souligne la fréquence des atteintes auto-immunes (les anticorps produits par le système immunitaire attaquent les glandes surrénales). [Elle se caractérise notamment par] une pigmentation brunâtre de la peau, des plis de flexions, des zones de frottement (d'où le nom de maladie bronzée) et des muqueuses.  4, record 1, French, - maladie%20d%27Addison
