[A case of Schmidt's syndrome].
A typical case of Schmidt syndrome is reported. The syndrome comprises signs of primary adrenocortical failure and hypothyroidism. Other endocrine and non-endocrine immunopathies may be present also, such as type I diabetes, gonadal failure, Addison-Biermer anaemia, myasthenia gravis, vitiligo or alopecia areata. The possibility of these concomitant changes should be taken into account in the treatment of Schmidt syndrome. The case in a 52-year-old woman is reported in view of rare occurrence of thr syndrome and its few descriptions in the Polish literature as well as diagnostic difficulties.
