The thyroiditis in children are urgent problem of pediatric endocrinology due to the widespread occurrence and characterized by clinical pathogenetic heterogeneity. developed guidelines main working tool practitioner. They briefly structurally present information about epidemiology modern classification thyroiditis, methods their diagnosis treatment based on principles evidence-based medicine.

Riedel's thyroiditis is an extremely rare disease that is difficult to diagnose correctly using preoperative diagnostic tools because it can mimic malignant neoplasm or the fibrous variant of Hashimoto thyroiditis during preoperative physical, radiologic, and pathologic examination. We describe here a rare case of Riedel's thyroiditis in an elderly patient and its radiologic characteristics.

We report on two patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, both of whom developed suppurative thyroiditis. One suffered from Staphylococcus aureus-induced thyroiditis and the other had tuberculous thyroiditis. The occurrence of tuberculous thyroiditis in systemic lupus erythematosus has not previously been reported. The diagnoses were made by fine-needle aspiration biopsy and subsequent bacte...

We report on a case of autoimmune thyroiditis in a 6-month-old patient with cortico-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Normal serum levels of thyroid hormons and thyroid-stimulating hormone were detected with high titers of circulant antithyroid antibodies and a dysomogeneous ultrasound appearance of the gland, typical of autoimmune thyroiditis. The research of maternal thyroid antibodies was negati...

The Authors report one case of suppurative thyroiditis in a 21-months-old girl and debate the principal aspects.

background: single nucleotide polymorphism in the interleukin28b (il28b) gene was recently shown to be associated with a significant increase in response to interferon-α and ribavirin treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis c. similarly, thyroid disease (td) occurring during treatment confer an improved sustained virologic response (svr). objectives: to determine the role of il28b genotype...

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare idiopathic cutaneous condition exceptionally associated with autoimmune thyroiditis. We describe the first case of NL, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and positive detection of autoantibodies. Appropriate screening for NL in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis may clarify its real incidence and the existence of a common pathogenetic pathway.

Subacute thyroiditis is not so common, but failure to diagnose may lead to unnecessary therapy and suffering cases of subacute thyroiditis arc described and diagnosis discussed.

We report a patient with subacute thyroiditis complicated by vocal cord paralysis; the paralysis has persisted after recovery from thyroiditis.
