Down syndrome (DS) is one of the most common survivable chromosomal disorders, and is well known to be associated with multiple autoimmune diseases. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. An association of DS and other autoimmune disease has been previously reported, and we report one case of DS in coexistence with MS, diabetes mellitus, and thyroid diseases. We suggest that MS, such as other autoimmune diseases, is prevalent in DS patients.
唐氏综合征（DS）是最常见的可存活染色体疾病之一，众所周知与多种自身免疫性疾病相关。多发性硬化症（MS）是一种中枢神经系统的慢性炎症性自身免疫性脱髓鞘疾病。先前已有关于DS与其他自身免疫性疾病关联的报道，我们报告一例DS合并MS、糖尿病和甲状腺疾病的病例。我们认为，与其他自身免疫性疾病一样，MS在DS患者中也很常见。
