Case Report A 30-year-old (age approximated for confidentiality) woman with a history of autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1), caused by the homozygous c. 967_979del deletion in the AIRE gene, presented to this hospital with fever. The patient had a history of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC), hypoparathyroidism on calcium repletion, hypothyroidism on levothyroxine, autoimmune hepatitis on azathioprine, and intestinal malabsorption, which can each occur in frequencies ranging from 40 to 80% of APS-1 patients [1]. Testing for adrenal insufficiency was negative.The patient was in her usual state of health until she developed fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and epigastric pain. She presented to the emergency department, where she required fluid resuscitation, brief pressor support, and intubation. The patient was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics, and blood cultures grew pan-susceptible E. coli. As part of empiric treatment for shock, she received 6 days of stress-dose corticosteroids (50 mg hydrocortisone every 6 h). Her white blood cell (WBC) count on presentation was low at 0.6 (thousand cells per microliter) with bands and schistocytes
