Abstract
Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) type I is a disorder that consists of three primary diseases: hypoparathyroidism (HPT), adrenocortical insufficiency (ACI) and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Several other disorders may be associated. The diagnosis of APS type I was made in a 16-year-old patient with HPT, Hashimato's thyroiditis and ACI in our department. She has been observed for more than four years for other possible endocrine and non-endocrine disorders.
