title: Selective IgA deficiency in a patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Case report.
abstract: We describe a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in which, eight years after initial diagnosis, an isolated (selective) IgA deficiency was detected. It is not clear which of these two conditions followed the other (both aetiologically and chronologically); indications and arguments for and against both hypotheses are discussed.
