BACKGROUND The development of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor is a main feature of autoimmune thyroid diseases. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether complete removal of thyroid antigens results in the abatement of humoral thyroid autoimmunity. DESIGN Retrospective chart review study of patients treated and monitored with a standard...

Lymphocytic (auto-immune, Hashimoto's) thyroiditis was formerly considered to be a rare condition in childhood, but recent reports indicate that it is by no means uncommon in this period of life and that it is being recognized with apparent increasing frequency (Macksood, Rapport, and Hodges, 1961). Since Hashimoto wrote his historical paper on struma lymphomatosa in 1912, 247 cases of proven H...

Myxedema is a rare, cutaneous complication of autoimmune thyroid diseases that most often affects the anterior shins. Herein, we report patient with history Graves disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis who presented boggy, alopecic patches associated scalp pruritus. Punch biopsies from these lesions showed increased interstitial mucin in reticular dermis, consistent localized myxedema. This showcas...

Strain 13 histocompatible guinea pigs developed allergic thyroiditis after immunization with thyroid extracts derived from the same strain or from other strains of guinea pigs. This thyroiditis appeared as early as 5 days after immunization, and by 7 weeks was uniformly present and generally severe. 7 weeks after immunization, the anti-thyroid antibody titer correlated with the presence and deg...

Subacute thyroiditis is extremely rare during the first decade of life. We describe a case of subacute thyroiditis in a 2 year old child whose initial clinical, sonographic, and radioisotopic features were indistinguishable from acute suppurative thyroiditis. The diagnosis was established by a raised antibody titre against adenovirus and typical increased thyroid function tests.

Riedel's thyroiditis (RT) is a rare form of infiltrative and inflammatory disease of the thyroid, first described by Bernard Riedel in 1896. The concurrent presence of RT and other thyroid diseases has been reported, but, the association of RT with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and acute thyroiditis has not yet been reported. We present a case of concurrent Riedel's, Hashimoto's and acute thyroiditis...

INTRODUCTION Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis [Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT)] is a common thyroid lesion diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Apart from FNAC, various other parameters, such as clinical features, ultrasonographic findings, antithyroid antibody levels, hormone profiles, and radionuclide thyroid scan, are also taken into consideration in making a diagnosis of HT. AIM...

Hypothyroidism’s most common cause is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Because Epstein-Barr virus a pathogen that causes autoimmune diseases to be prevalent worldwide and because it stays in the body for duration of life, which explains why have chronic course are frequently accompanied by symptomatic exacerbations, aim this research determine relationship between (EBV) disease patients with thyro...
