Symptoma

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 1

APS I

Other features include type 1 diabetes (typically presenting after childhood) alopecia, vitiligo, keratoconjunctivitis, gonadal failure, hypothyroidism, hepatitis, and malabsorptive diarrhoea. [diapedia.org]

Published on Oct 26, 2012 Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 Presented by Suparat Sirivimonpan, MD. [slideshare.net]

We report a patient diagnosed with PAS III-B after presenting with a DVT, a previously unreported initial manifestation of the disease. [edmcasereports.com]

It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern (two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the syndrome to develop). [dermnetnz.org]

In this article we present a complex case of a patient affected by APS/MAS-3 with Graves’ disease and six other different clinical or latent autoimmune diseases. Case presentation associated to TADs (with the exception of AD) (Table 2) [3]. [docksci.com]

  • Fatigue

    […] of circulating calcium Addison disease, an insufficiency of the adrenal glands, presenting with changes in skin pigmentation, loss of appetite and weight loss, fatigue, low blood pressure and fatigue. [dermnetnz.org]

    We ask about general symptoms (anxious mood, depressed mood, fatigue, pain, and stress) regardless of condition. Last updated: May 14, 2019 [patientslikeme.com]

    A 66-year-old female presented with fatigue, edema and jaundice. She had been diagnosed with Graves' disease at the age of 29 years but stopped going to the hospital for follow-up visits. [ci.nii.ac.jp]

    A 74-years-old woman came to the hospital due to fatigue, nausea, vomiting and skin hyperpigmentation that had begun two months before her presentation. [hippokratia.gr]

    However, most people with endocrine disease complain of fatigue and weakness. Blood and urine tests to check your hormone levels can help your doctors determine if you have an endocrine disorder. [webmd.com]

  • Prolonged Immobilization

    She denied recent prolonged immobilization and had no recent surgeries. Her family history was not significant for endocrinopathies, autoimmune diseases or coagulopathies. [edmcasereports.com]

  • Nausea

    A 74-years-old woman came to the hospital due to fatigue, nausea, vomiting and skin hyperpigmentation that had begun two months before her presentation. [hippokratia.gr]

    Deficiencies of these hormones may lead to weakness, muscle cramps, faintness, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, low blood pressure, dehydration, and salt craving. [rarediseases.org]

    The patient received levothyroxine, rehydration, nutritional support, and antibiotics treatment, but both nausea and vomiting persisted. [journals.lww.com]

    A 32-year-old young female, P0 0, presented with fever, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting for last 10 days. She was amenorrheic for last 10 years. [ijem.in]

  • Alopecia

    Case Report A 9-year-old female was admitted in the hospital because of alopecia. She had multiple minimal local alopecia and bilateral loss of eyelashes and eyebrows [Figure 1] and [Figure 2]. [jcor.in]

    DM-1, alopecia areata, autoimmune neutropenia, Sjo gren’s syndrome and chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus [14]. [docksci.com]

    Other features of APS are total baldness (alopecia totalis), inflammation of the cornea and whites of the eye (keratoconjunctivitis), underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the enamel of the teeth, childhood-onset moniliasis (yeast infection), juvenile-onset [medicinenet.com]

    Weak affinity receptors are not needed and the cell dies by neglect. Positive selection allows cells with useful capacity for antigen recognition to enter the circulation. [diapedia.org]

Detailed workup to check for evolving APS II is prudent in a hypothyroid patient presenting with pallor and jaundice. [casereports.bmj.com]

His morning serum cortisol level was found to be undetectable and further workup confirmed autoimmune etiology of primary adrenal insufficiency. [journals.aace.com]

Inheritance is autosomal recessive. [1] Treatment may include hormone -replacement, and medication for candidiasis, as well as specific treatment of any complications. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

With the medium dose prednisolone in addition to levothyroxine and treatments for congestive heart failure and polymorphic VT, the symptoms and signs faded out gradually. [synapse.koreamed.org]

Standard Therapies Treatment Treatment of APS-1 is currently directed toward the specific diseases that are apparent in each patient. [rarediseases.org]

The prognosis (outlook) depends on whether the critical hormone deficiencies are remedied and especially whether the infections can be successfully controlled. [medicinenet.com]

New treatments have favourably changed the prognosis. Its frequent association with autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) has been previously acknowledged 1 – 3. ATD may also be associated with other autoimmune diseases. [erj.ersjournals.com]

According to Vasconcellos, the presence of sensory level denotes severe case of vitamin B12 deficiency and may be considered a finding associated with a bad prognosis. [scielo.mec.pt]

The etiology of the ventricular tachycardia seen in this patient with a structurally normal heart on echocardiography remains unclear, but it may have been due to electrolyte abnormalities. [pubs.sciepub.com]

The etiology is most often autoimmune. [merckmanuals.com]
