SUMMARY.— The association of vitiligo with organ‐specific autoimmune disorders has been examined with particular reference to pernicious anaemia. A significantly increased incidence of gastric parietal cell antibody was found in serum of sixty‐two patients with vitiligo. There is now sufficient clinical and investigative evidence to suggest that absence of melanocytes from lesions of vitiligo results from immunological disturbance.
