Abstract
The first case of polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PAS) in a patient with anorexia nervosa is reported. The association of pernicious anem ia with vitiligo and endocrine hypofunction (PAS) is reviewed. Eating disorder patients with B12 deficiency who have vitiligo or a history o f endocrine hypofunction should have a Schilling test to exclude perni cious anemia. (C) 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
