Abstract

In a baby born to a mother who had idiopathic (autoimmune) Addison's disease and gestational insulin-dependent diabetes, antibodies to adrenal cortex and to pancreatic islet cells were demonstrated in the cord blood and serum for at least 41 days. There was no clinical or objective evidence of adrenocortical failure or of disturbed carbohydrate tolerance in the baby.
