A Case of Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome
Abstract
- Polyglandular autoimmune(PGA) syndrome designates the dysfunction of endocrine and nonendocrine system involving two or more glands on the basis of autoimmunity. There are three types of PGA syndrome and their pathogenesis is still not completely understood. A 27-year-old woman developed polyglandular autoimmune syndrome manifesting insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, myasthenia gravis and Graves' disease associated papillary thyroid carcinoma. The thyroid antimicrosomal antibody and antiacetylcholine receptor antibody were positive. Her HLA serotype was A2, A11, A62, B60, CW3, CW4, DR4, DR9.We report here a case of polyglandular autoimmune syndrome, type III manifesting insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, myasthenia gravis and Graves' disease associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma.
