The prevalence of comorbilities such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1), celiac disease and hypothyroidism is higher in Down's syndrome (DS) compared with the general population; however, the association of all these pathologies is rare. We report a girl with DS, now 7 years old, who developed DM1, hypothyroidism and celiac disease at different times. The authors consider important that follow-up programs for patients with DS include screening for these pathologies.
与普通人群相比,唐氏综合征(DS)患者中1型糖尿病(DM1)、乳糜泻和甲状腺功能减退等合并症的患病率更高;然而,所有这些病症同时出现的情况很少见。我们报告了一名现年7岁的DS女童,她在不同时期分别患上了DM1、甲状腺功能减退和乳糜泻。作者认为,DS患者的随访计划应包括对这些病症的筛查,这一点很重要。
