Schmidt's syndrome in a Saudi family.
We present 3 patients from a Saudi family who are presented with polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type 2. They have Addison's disease with either autoimmune thyroid disease or insulin dependent diabetic mellitus. Although this syndrome is rare, the incidence among Saudi Arabia or the Arab population is not known.
