| ==Overview==
| |
| | |
| The '''polyendocrine deficiency syndrome''' is classified into two separate forms, referred to as type I and type II.
| |
| | |
| Type I occurs in children, and adrenal insufficiency may be accompanied by:
| |
| | |
| * underactive parathyroid glands
| |
| * slow sexual development
| |
| * pernicious anemia
| |
| * chronic candida infections
| |
| * chronic active hepatitis
| |
| * hair loss (in very rare cases)
| |
| | |
| Type II, often called Schmidt's syndrome, usually afflicts young adults. Features of type II may include
| |
| | |
| * an underactive thyroid gland
| |
| * slow sexual development
| |
| * diabetes
| |
| * vitiligo
| |
| * loss of pigment on areas of the skin
| |
| | |
| Scientists think that the polyendocrine deficiency syndrome is inherited because frequently more than one family member tends to have one or more endocrine deficiencies.
