AB - The coincidence of hypoparathyroidism and Addison's disease in children is rare, only 7 cases being found in the available literature (1–9). The present paper surveys this material briefly and presents an additional patient with hypoadrenocorticism and hypoparathyroidism—a 15-year-old boy studied at The Cincinnati Children's Hospital, in whom the clinical diagnoses were confirmed by autopsy findings. From these data, evidence indicating that the syndrome in question has in general the features of “familial juvenile hypoadrenocorticism, hypoparathyrodism and superficial moniliasis” has been assembled, and the suggestion offered that other reported cases with some of these features are incomplete examples of the syndrome. Relationships between the monilial infection and the endocrine dysfunctions, and other implications of this syndrome, are also discussed. This content is only available as a PDF.
