Auto-immune polyendocrinopathy syndrome type I is a rare genetic disease, usually revealed by chronic superficial candidiasis and autoimmune endocrine dysfunction in childhood.
We report the cases of 2 children, a 4 years-11 months old boy and 13 years old adolescent, admitted and followed up in the endocrinology unit of the Mother and Child Centre of Chantal Biya's Foundation for auto-immune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.
The occurrence of chronic cutaneous candidiasis in a child should always imply endocrine screening, to exclude auto-immune polyendocrine syndrome type I.
自身免疫性多内分泌腺病综合征 1 型是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,通常在儿童期表现为慢性浅表性念珠菌病和自身免疫性内分泌功能障碍。
我们报告了在恰塔尔·比娅基金会母婴中心内分泌科就诊并随访的 2 例自身免疫性多内分泌腺病综合征 1 型患儿的病例,分别为 4 岁 11 个月大的男孩和 13 岁的青少年。
儿童慢性皮肤念珠菌病的发生应始终进行内分泌筛查,以排除自身免疫性多内分泌腺病综合征 1 型。
