چکیده

UNLABELLED Despite the fact that subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a common disease, its pathogenesis is still uncertain. At present, viral infection is simply thought to be a possible pathogenic factor. In Caucasians and Chinese, however, a strong association has recently been found between HLA-Bw35 and SAT. Therefore, genetic factors are also thought to participate in the onset of SAT. In this study we have further attempted to clarify the pathogenesis of this disease in this regard. PROTOCOL HLA typing for A, B and C loci (class I antigens) was performed on 89 patients with SAT (males: 7, females: 82) aged from 23 to 66 years, and DR and MT loci (class II antigens) were investigated in 55 patients. In 12 patients, viral antibody titers were measured as soon as possible after onset and two weeks later. The viral antibodies evaluated were those of Influenza A and B, Coxsackie A9, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 and B6, Echo 3, 7, 11 and 12, Parainfluenza 1, 2, 3 and 4, and Adeno 8 virus. The following results were obtained: In class I HLA typing, the frequency of HLA-Bw35 in SAT was 67.4%, which was significantly (p less than 0.0001) higher than that in the control (14.1%). On the other hand, the frequency of Cw1 in SAT (14.6%) was significantly (p less than 0.01) lower than that of the control (32.1%), and that of Cw3 (65.2%) was significantly (p less than 0.01) higher than that of the control (46.5%). In class II HLA typing, the frequency of DRw8 in SAT was 38.2%, which was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher than that of the control (21.9%). Other antigens showed no significant changes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Cut off value of technetium uptake in the differential diagnosis of Graves, disease and subacute thyroiditis

Objective(s):The aim of this study was to determine whether technetium (99mTc) uptake is a relevant method for the differential diagnosis of Graves disease and subacute thyroiditis and calculate its cutoff value in case of its relevancy. Methods: A total of 69 patients, who were followed up (>3 months) in our hospital for thyrotoxi...

Histopathologic study of the so called 'palpation thyroiditis'.

We have reviewed 1066 thyroid lesions and compared the relative incidence of the so called 'palpation thyroiditis' between autoimmune thyroiditis and normal thyroid parenchyme surrounding the nodular thyroid lesion and also discussed the pathogenesis of palpation thyroiditis. The typical histopathologic features of 'palpation thyroiditis' were seen in 275 cases among 467 adenomatous goiters and...

Riedel's thyroiditis in a patient with recurrent subacute thyroiditis: a case report and review of the literature.

Riedel's thyroiditis is a rare form of chronic thyroiditis, characterised by a fibroinflammatory process that partially destroys the thyroid and often involves surrounding tissues. The relationship of Riedel's thyroiditis to other forms of thyroiditis is not clear. A case of Riedel's thyroiditis in a 51-year-old woman presenting with symptoms of subacute thyroiditis, is reported. She was diagno...

Differential diagnosis of a tender goiter.

Subacute thyroiditis is generally felt to have a viral etiology, and the diagnosis is usually obvious when the patient presents with a diffusely enlarged and very tender thyroid gland associated with elevated free T4 levels, elevated sedimentation rate, low radioiodine uptake and/or nonvisualization on scan and often some systemic symptoms. Subacute thyroiditis can be unilateral or focal (1,2)....
