Destruction-induced thyrotoxicosis includes various painful diseases such as subacute granulomatous thyroiditis, acute exacerbation of chronic thyroiditis and acute suppurative thyroiditis. In contrast, the clinically painless form of destruction-induced thyrotoxicosis is almost exclusively restricted to painless or silent thyroiditis. We report what we believe to be a case of acute exacerbatio...

The aim of our study was to evaluate antibodies against thyroglobulin (anti-TG) and thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) - markers of autoimmune thyroiditis - in several groups of adult patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). We were particularly interested whether the presence of thyroid antibodies is related to the positivity of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (anti-GAD). We f...

Background Approximately 2-4% of all women have recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA); however, the cause is determined in only 50% of cases. Recent studies have shown an association between thyroid autoantibodies as a sign of thyroid autoimmunity and abortion. The aim of the present study was to determine whether circulating anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) was associated with RSA. MaterialsA...
