Abstract
Multiple autoimmune syndrome (MAS) is a condition characterized by three or more autoimmune disorders in the same individual. The development of MAS involves genetic, immunological, and infectious factors. Here we report a case of a 40-year-old man who presented with four autoimmune diseases, namely autoimmune hypothyroidism, alopecia universalis, celiac disease, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), which leads to a diagnosis of MAS. However, the patient does not fit in any category of MAS classification. In addition to the need for continued surveillance for the development of new autoimmune disease in predisposed patients, this case report suggests an additional fourth category of the classification of MAS that includes autoimmune hypothyroidism, alopecia universalis, celiac disease, and ITP.
