Abstract

The author observed 1 patient with APGS-1 type. The disease was manifested by autoimmune damage of peripheral glands (hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism), destructive keratitis and candidiasis. With a minor injury, pathological fractures of radial bones in the lower third of the forearm have been reported over last 14 years. Within a year, it was not possible to consolidate these fractures completely. The author suggests that the the diversity of the signs can be explained only by the presence of another genetic disease - imperfect osteogenesis. A complex of measures for the correction of APGS-1 and acceleration of consolidation of pathological fractures is proposed.
