The authors deal with the case of young woman in whom in a 4-year period step by step different endocrine disorders developed after a virus infection. Finally a severe immunthrombocytopenia evolved. On the basis of these the rare polyglandular autoimmune syndrome type II. was diagnosed. Substituent therapy and stoss therapy with steroid was performed, but because of the insufficient therapeutic effect and the strong thrombopenic bleeding Cyclosporin therapy was necessary. The effect of the later therapy caused total remission of the illness. At present the patient is under their control. The case could arose interest because of the rarity of the illness and the very good effect of Cyclosporin therapy.
