Abstract
Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) is an entity, defined by autoimmunity towards two or more endocrine organs. APS is classified in 3 subgroups (type-1, type-2a, type-2b), according to the organs involved. A case is presented of a 13-year old girl referred to the Department of Paediatrics with hypothyroidism, subsequently diagnosed adrenocortical insufficiency and impending Addison crisis, typical for APS-type 2a. In the paper we discuss the need for more attention to APS in clinical work
