Acute suppurative thyroiditis is a rare disorder, most often caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae, which affects particularly children with pyriform sinus fistula. In adults, the main pathogenic mechanism seems to be hematogenous dissemination from a focus of infection in the oropharynx or respiratory tract. The initial signs and symptoms of acute thyroiditis are similar ...

Subacute painful thyroiditis occurs in association with viral infections [1, 2]. It has been proposed that many viruses are involved in its pathogenesis, and they include coxsackie, influenza, adenoviruses, and echoviruses. So far, however, no studies have reported the relationship between subacute painful thyroiditis and scrub typhus infection. We experienced two cases of subacute painful thyr...

SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had significant impacts on the world. The longer continues more we learn about virus behind it and post-infection complications. infections have been associated with immune dysfunction thyroid disease. spectrum of disease reported spans from subacute thyroiditis to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. We report a 16-years-old patient whose COVID-19 infection was followed by multiple...

As reported previously, acute exacerbation of Hashimoto's thyroiditis shows quite unique histological findings, namely localized edematous inflammation. Similar histological characteristics and clinical manifestations were observed in 7 of 492 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (A group). Their clinical and laboratory findings were compared with those of 15 cases with subacute granulomatous ...

This study was to investigate and analyze the diagnostic value of nuclear medicine ultrasound examination in subacute thyroiditis. Three hundred cases with thyroiditis were selected as research group, while another 300 health enrolled control both ranging from August 2013 October 2016. Patients group underwent detection erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum free triiodothyronine, thyroxine, hig...

Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is a rare condition, as the thyroid gland is relatively resistant to infection. Thyroid function tests are usually normal in AST. A few cases of AST associated with thyrotoxicosis have been reported in adults. We report a case of AST that was associated with thyrotoxicosis in a 70-year-old woman. We diagnosed AST with thyroid ultrasonography and fine needle a...

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 st...

We report a previously healthy 43 yr old male who presented with prolonged fever, weight loss and neck pain for 3 weeks. Even after extensive work up for the possible causes of pyrexia, the cause remained elusive. In view of persistent tachycardia and neck pain, possibility of subacute thyroiditis was suspected. Thyroid function test (TFT) revealed thyrotoxicosis, which on further evaluation wa...

De Quervain’s thyroiditis, also known as subacute thyroiditis (SAT), is a self-limiting inflammatory thyroid disease typically occurring few weeks after respiratory viral infection. A 29-year-old female with no comorbidities presented persistent fever, neck pain, and swelling of 10 days duration. She had tremors, fatigue, palpitation. careful enquiry revealed that she been diagnosed coronavirus...
