Abstract

Her investigations revealed low intact PTH level, low serum cortisol, high ACTH, impaired glucose tolerance test and candidal onycomycosis. She was diagnosed as Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome (PGA) type I. She also developed idiopathic generalized epileptiform seizures and Alcaligenes faecalis septicemia not previously reported with PGA type I.
