A bstract : The adult form of polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (type 2) is associated with disorders of the thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas (type 1 diabetes mellitus). We profile the clinical association of autoimmune diseases among patients from our center in southern India: autoimmune diseases were diagnosed in 1.68% of persons with diabetes mellitus (147/15,523). Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in 2.3% of persons with hypothyroidism (33/1435) and in 4.35% with thyrotoxicosis (15/345).
