| ==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 gland]]s
| |
| * 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 mellitus]]
| |
| * [[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.
