Abstract
A six year-old boy with common variable immunodeficiency developed insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, autoimmune thyroiditis, and total alopecia lea ding to the diagnosis of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2. Previous ly unreported co-occurence of these two entities may be explained by strong autoimmunity and HLA association of both conditions.
