  • Title: Thyrotoxicosis and giant-cell arteritis.
    Author: Thomas RD, Croft DN.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1974 May 25; 2(5916):408-9. PubMed ID: 4835298.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective survey we found that five (8.5%) out of 59 women with giant-cell arteritis had a history of thyrotoxicosis. This was significantly higher than in a control group of patients. Giant-cell arteritis and thyrotoxicosis occurred simultaneously in two cases. Knowledge of this association is of clinical use and is further evidence for an immunological basis for giant-cell arteritis.
