Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 in an 11-year- old boy

Abstract

    Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary pathology — a defect in the autoimmune regulator gene (AIRE), which develops with endocrine and non-endocrine manifestations in childhood. The disease is characterized by clinical polymorphism, which makes timely diagnosis difficult. The article describes a clinical case of an 11-year-old patient with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1, in whom the course of the disease was erased for a long period. The high quality of life of such patients is possible with timely, individually selected substitution therapy, followed by dispensary observation.
