A rare case of autoimmune polyglandular syndromes type 3a-3b presented with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (Lada)

Abstract

Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are characterized by autoimmune disorders of multiple organs. APS is divided into 4 subgroups as type 1, 2, 3, and 4. APS type 3 is rare and divided into 4 groups as A, B, C, and D. While in APS type 3A autoimmune thyroiditis is accompanied by type 1 diabetes mellitus, in APS type 3B autoimmune thyroiditis is associated with pernicious anemia. We report a rare case of APS type 3A-3B presented with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). © 2018, Logos Medical Publishing. All rights reserved.
