Abstract
A patient is described who had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus for 2 years, prior to developing rheumatoid arthritis and then subsequently ankylosing spondylitis and dermatomyositis. Diagnostic criteria for all diseases are fulfilled. HLA typing revealed the presence of HLA A2, A9, B8, B27, DR3 and DR4 antigens. The concomitant coexistence of diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and dermatomyositis appears to have occurred in an individual genetically susceptible to these diseases.Entities:
