PERSISTENT NEONATAL DIABETES-MELLITUS AND PRIMARY CONGENITAL HYPOTHYROIDISM - A HITHERTO UNKNOWN ASSOCIATION

We describe a 4-year-old boy who has persistent neonatal insulin depen dent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) with a documented decrease in endogenous insulin secretory capacity. He also has athyreotic primary congenital hypothyroidism. To our knowledge such an association has never been r eported before. A brief review of the literature on the subject is pre sented.
