Zusammenfassung: | Multiple autoimmune syndrome is a rare condition, described by Humbert and Dupond in
1988. It is defined by the association of at least 3 autoimmune diseases in the same
patient. Vitiligo is the most common skin condition in this syndrome. This article
presents the case of a 31-year-old male with vitiligo, alopecia areata, Crohn's
disease, psoriasis vulgaris and oral lichen planus. The rarity of this case is
highlighted by the coexistence of four autoimmune skin diseases in association with
Crohn's disease, never described in the literature. |
