A 15 year old boy with autoimmune
polyendocrinopathy-candidosis-ectodermal dystrophy
syndrome suffered recurrent episodes of severe intractable
diarrhoea, steatorrhoea, and hypocalcaemia. The only treatment
modality, which controlled the malabsorption syndrome, was
immunosuppression with intravenous high dose methylprednisolone and
oral methotrexate maintenance therapy.
