Polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type III associated with coeliac disease and sarcoidosis.

Abstract

A female patient demonstrating a previously not reported constellation of polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type III (including autoimmune thyroiditis, Graves' ophthalmopathy, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and vitiligo), coeliac disease and sarcoidosis is described. This may be a random association but might also indicate a common immunological and/or genetic disturbance.
