Özet
Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) is defined as a multiple endocrine gland insufficiency associated with an autoimmune disease. The first clinical manifestation of APS-1 usually occurs in childhood and new components may successively appear throughout life, with the majority of patients (63%) have 3 to 5 organ involvement. The most frequent manifestations of APS include chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism, adrenocortical failure, and gonadal failure in females. We present a case of APS that cannot be classified in any group of APS presenting with Crohn disease. © 2009 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
