Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type

A 45-year-old woman presented to us with a short-term history of nausea, vomiting and giddiness. On arrival at our hospital, examination revealed postural hypotension. Fluid resuscitation with intravenous normal saline was commenced. She also had chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and nail changes suggestive of ectodermal dystrophy. Detailed history taking revealed that she had never attained menarche. Serum biochemistries showed hyponatraemia, hyperkalaemia, and hypocalcaemia (sodium, 127 mEq/L; potassium, 6 mEq/L; and albumin-corrected calcium, 6 mg/dL). Adrenocorticotropic hormone-stimulated cortisol (16.7 mcg/dL) was suboptimal favouring adrenal insufficiency. She was started on hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone supplementation. Additionally, the parathyroid hormone was inappropriately low (3.8 pg/mL) confirming hypoparathyroidism. Oral calcium and active vitamin D supplementation were added. With the above clinical and biochemical picture, namely, clustering of primary amenorrhoea, adrenal insufficiency and hypoparathyroidism, the diagnosis pointed towards autoimmune polyglandular syndrome. Genetic workup revealed a deletion in exon 8 of the autoimmune regulator gene confirming the diagnosis of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy–candidiasis–ectodermal dystrophy/autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 .

Timely Treatment

The article describes a clinical case of primary adrenal insufficiency which manifested at an atypically advanced age. Primary adrenal insufficiency combined with other clinical symptoms suggested the autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1. Subsequently, the diagnosis was confirmed by the results of genetic testing. The particulars of the clinical case include the age of patient at manifestation of the disease (49  years). The lack of treatment resulted in dramatic clinical decompensation. This clinical case is intended to draw clinicians' attention to the necessity of detection of primary adrenal insufficiency and appropriate and timely treatment. Taking into account eventual diagnostic problems, it is necessary to raise awareness about this disease among practicing doctors of various specialties.
