Resumen de Hutchinson (1828-1913), su historia, su tríada y otras tríadas de la medicina

Pablo Young, Bárbara C. Finn, Débora Pellegrini, Julio E. Bruetman

• The prolific life of Jonathan Hutchinson is reviewed. The importance of triads, a set of signs and symptoms that lead to the suspicion of the presence of one or more clinical entities, that are a demonstration of associative thinking, is also discussed. Nowadays, when technology plays a very important role in medicine, we would like to underscore the value of history taking and physical examination as useful clinical tools.
