Abstract :

Auto-immune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus and scleroderma, are often associated with and co-existent with type-I diabetes, auto-immune thyroid disease and other auto-immune diseases. The following is a retrospective clinical analysis done from case records (out-patient files, in-patient files) of all patients, who had at-least three distinctive auto-immune disorders seen over a ten year period at IAH, New Delhi. Details of clinical features and auto-antibodies found have been described. Discussion of the possible cytokine profiles and immune-pathology will be discussed.
