Polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type I is a rare disorder characterized by mucocutaneous candidiasis (MC), hypoparathyroidism (HP) and adrenal insufficiency , requiring regular follow up as the components of the syndrome appear at different age groups. We report a six and half year boy having this syndrome and presenting with MC, HP and ectodermal dystrophy.

Co-existence of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 3b and undifferentiated connective tissue disease with subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord in children: a case report and literature review.
BMC Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, China.
Background: The clinical manifestations of subacute combined degeneration of spinal cord (SCD) in children are complex and vary greatly. Notably, some SCD patients may be complicated with autoimmune diseases, leading to high early misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rates.
Case Presentation: In this study, a case involving an adolescent female with repetitive severe anemia, multiple joint swelling and pain in the left limbs, and paralysis of the bilateral lower limbs with serum vitamin B12 deficiency, polyglandular involvement, and various positive auto-antibodies (anti‑intrinsic factor antibody, anti‑parietal cell antibody, thyroid peroxidase antibody, thyroid globulin antibody and perinuclear anti‑neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody) is reported.

Autoimmune Disease is Increased in Women with Primary Ovarian Insufficiency.

Article Synopsis
- - Researchers studied the link between autoimmune diseases and women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) using health records from Utah, finding that 25% of POI women had at least one autoimmune condition.
- - Women with POI showed significantly higher risks for several autoimmune diseases, with conditions like autoimmune hypothyroidism and vitiligo being particularly prevalent compared to the general population.
- - Interestingly, the study found no increased risk of autoimmune diseases in the family members of women with POI, suggesting environmental factors might play a role rather than genetic inheritance.
Longitudinal assessment of thyroid function in dogs with hypoadrenocorticism: Clinical outcomes and prevalence of autoantibodies.
J Vet Intern Med
December 2024
Clinic for Small Animal Internal Medicine, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.
Background: Knowledge about primary hypoadrenocorticism coexisting with immune-mediated thyroiditis (Schmidt's syndrome) in dogs is limited.
Objective: To evaluate thyroid function in dogs with naturally occurring hypoadrenocorticism before and during treatment.
Animals: Sixty-six client-owned dogs.
The Putative Role of Variants in Polyendocrine Autoimmunity: Insights from a WES Investigation.

Article Synopsis
- * A study on a 16-year-old female patient with APS3A/B used whole-exome sequencing to uncover two genetic variants in the TIM-3 protein that may affect her autoimmune response and overall health.
- * Additional analyses revealed that, despite similar TIM-3 fluorescence levels to healthy donors, the patient exhibited decreased TIM-3 expression, and unique mutations were found in her compared to a cohort of APS patients, highlighting the potential for new genetic insights in APS classification.
