| Abstract: |
Specifically, 5 patients had the classic diagnostic triad, 14 patients had the diagnostic dyad of AI-HPT, and 4 patients had the diagnostic dyad of AI-CMC. Nonetheless, our study provides a first analysis of the prevalence of APECED clinical disease in the USA and indicates that several hundred-to-thousand patients with this autoimmune syndrome likely exist in the USA. Excluding VVC/dermal candidiasis-only designations of CMC resulted in a prevalence of 2.3 (95% CI, 2.2-2.4) per 100,000 patients. [Extracted from the article] |
