- Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus, one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood, is caused by insulin deficiency resulting from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. Children and adolescents with T1DM are at increased risk for developing other autoimmune diseases, most commonly autoimmune thyroiditis and celiac disease. Rarely Type 1 diabetes mellitus is associated with adrenal insufficiency, autoimmune gastritis, autoimmune ovophoritis and autoimmune hepatitis. Almost one-quarter of patients with T1DM younger than 21 years old have one or more other organ-specific antibodies. These associated autoimmune diseases are presented here.
