Les syndromes autoimmuns multiples, mythe ou réalité ?

Disorders of autoimmune pathogenesis are occurring with increased frequency in patients with a previous history of another autoimmune disease. This way, the combinaison of at least three autoimmune diseases in the same patient provides a Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome (MAS). It is believed that the MAS could help to prevent the occurrence of a new condition in a patient previously affected by two others. The purpose of this paper is to report 10 new cases of MAS, in which the third autoimmune disease was prevented using this new classification.
