After examination of 18 patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathies the authors have arrived at a conclusion that thyroid pathology is the most frequent sign of autoimmune polyendocrinopathies and is noted earlier than other endocrine disorders. A course of thyropathies is characterized by resistance to conservative therapy and recurrences after surgical interventions. A high hereditary aggravation of patients with autoimmune polyendocrinopathies requires careful investigation of their relatives for early detection of endocrine pathology.
