BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Several autoimmune disorders have been reported to be associated with autoimmune thyroiditis and may coexist with other organ-specific autoantibodies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence of tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) and glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD) antibodies in patients suffering from autoimmune thyroiditis as diagnosed by anti-t...

__________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction: Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (MRS) is a rare neurologic disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by a triad of symptoms: relapsing peripheral facial paralysis; orofacial edema and fissured tongue. The pathological findings are varied but often characterized by the presence of noncas...

Introduction: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a chronic autoimmune lymphocytic characterised by thyroid autoantibodies. Early detection and treatment of this condition help in reducing the morbidity mortality associated with it. The aim study was to find out prevalence among patients disorders visiting tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional conducted outpatient department Data ...

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...

We report the case of a 19-year-old woman with a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis who presented with tender right anterior cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. Workup for infectious, autoimmune, and malignant causes was unremarkable. Surgical removal of cervical lymph nodes after detailed magnetic resonance (MR) imaging disclosed necrotizing lymphadenitis, also known as Kikuchi's disease (KD)....

OBJECTIVE Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile systemic vasculitis, mainly affecting infants and young children. Immunological abnormalities during the acute phase of KD have been described extensively. However, the occurrence of a second immunological disorder in a patient with a history of KD is rarely reported. We evaluated the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis and coeliac disease (CD)...

Various autoimmune diseases have association with each other but it is very rare to see multiple autoimmune diseases in one patient. Presence of more than two autoimmune diseases in one patient is known as multiple autoimmune syndrome (MAS). We report the case of an 11 years old girl who presented with history of swelling in front of the neck along with constipation, anorexia, weight gain and i...

INTRODUCTION Type III Polyglandular Autoimmune Syndrome (PAS III) is composed of autoimmune thyroid diseases associated with endocrinopathy other than adrenal insufficiency. This syndrome is associated with organ-specific and organ-nonspecific or systemic autoimmune diseases. The frequency of PAS syndromes in diabetic children is unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the in...

The prevalence of thyroid diseases including autoimmune hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease), thyroiditis, and different forms cancer is increasing every year, while the effectiveness their treatment remains low limited, mainly, to replacement therapy with hormones surgical radioisotope methods. This review presents current state problem pharmacological correction in new approaches regulation func...
