Abstract
Eight years old girl presented with mucocutaneous candidiasis, nail dystrophy, twitching left half of face, progressively increasing generalized skin hyperpigmentation and hypopigmented patches over both shins. 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. The patient responded well to alphacalcidol, hydrocortisone, valproate sodium, topical antifungal and systemic antibiotics.Entities:
