Title: Silent thyrotoxic thyroiditis in association with chronic adrenocortical insufficiency. Author: Parker M, Klein I, Fishman LM, Levey GS. Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1980 Aug; 140(8):1108-9. PubMed ID: 7396620. Abstract: A 23-year-old woman had silent thyrotoxic thyroiditis and chronic adrenocortical insufficiency (Addison's disease). Recent evidence suggests that silent thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid and by transient hyperthyroidism, followed occasionally by transient hypothyroidism and eventual recovery. This case would seem to expand the spectrum of autoimmune thyroid diseases (Graves' disease, lymphocytic [Hashimoto's] thyroiditis, and hypothyroidism) associated with chronic adrenocortical insufficiency.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
