ABSTRACT
This report presents an 84 year-old patient admitted into our hospital for dizziness with a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis,chronic gastritis and vitiligo.Physical examinations showed skin depigmentation.Laboratory tests revealed anemia,positive intrinsic factor antibodies and normal adrenal function.This patient was finally diagnosed with autoimmune polyglandular syndromes(APS) type Ⅲ B +C.Recurrent anemia was mainly attributed to malabsorption caused by autoimmune gastritis.This article reviews the common clinical manifestations of APS,in order to call for geriatricians' attention to APS.APS Ⅲ B+C should be considered if vitiligo combined with anemia occurs in elderly patients.
