  • Title: [A rare metabolic disease: alkaptonuria--ochronosis].
    Author: Hortobágyi J, Schneider I, Sebök B, Klujber L.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1992 Sep; 43(9):580-2. PubMed ID: 1328117.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the case of a 40-year-old female patient. Since childhood her urine had caused black discoloration on her underwear. For about a year the skin of the axillae and pinnae had been bluish-black without subjective complaints. One year before admission, pain in the thoracic and lumbar spine began, with limitation of motion. Examination of the urine, histological and electron microscopical findings, and X-ray examination of the spinal column confirmed the diagnosis of alkaptonuria and congenital ochronosis.
