A Case of Subacute Thyroiditis Accompanied by Thyroid Stimulating Antibodies and Thyroid Stimulation-Blocking Antibodies

Thyroid antibodies and thyroiditis.

Transient congenital hypothyroidism due to thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor blocking antibodies: a case series.

We describe seven infants with transient congenital hypothyroidism (CH) due to maternal thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSH-R) blocking antibodies (TRAb) identified over three decades of newborn screening for CH in Wales, UK that represents a minimum incidence of 1.6% of CH cases. Infants with transient CH due to maternal TRAb presented with a spectrum of clinical and biochemical hypothyr...

Papillary thyroid cancer case masked by subacute thyroiditis.

Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) association with thyroid carcinoma has been rarely reported in the literature. We present a patient with SAT and papillary thyroid cancer that was suspected by ultrasonographic evaluation (US) following SAT treatment. A fifty-four-year old female patient referred to our department due to tachycardia, jitteriness and pain in cervical region for the past one month. SAT ...

Presence of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor Antibodies in a Patient with Subacute Thyroiditis followed by Hypothyroidism and Later Graves' Disease with Ophthalmopathy: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND The development of Graves' disease (GD) after subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is very rare and only a limited number of cases have been reported. OBJECTIVES Here, we report a patient with SAT followed by hypothyroidism and later GD, with ophthalmopathy, occurring 11 years after SAT. CONCLUSION This case illustrates the appearance of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibodie...

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies in children with autoimmune thyroiditis.

AIMS To compare the prevalence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies in 25 children with autoimmune thyroid disorders and in 41 children and young adults with type 1 diabetes, and to test the prevalence of thyrotropin receptor antibodies. METHODS Two commercially available radioimmunoassays for antibodies to thyroid peroxidase, a commercially available agglutination test of particles coated with t...
