We reviewed the results of the long term study of incidence, clinical characteristics, some etiological possibilities and pathogenetic mechanisms in inflammatory diseases of thyroid gland. Among persons who suffered of acute thyroiditis we presented the most frequent causes and prominent clinical characteristics in the course of the disease with special interest for predisposing factors. Contrary to the most frequent opinions, the number of cases with subacute (de Quervain) thyroiditis is so similar to the number of cases with Graves diseases. For these reason we concluded that subacute thyroiditis is important medical problem, in spite of its benignity. Even well known clinical characteristics and therapy of subacute thyroiditis, etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms are not well estimated. The group of chronical thyroiditis described as autoimmune thyroiditis, indicates on etiology of this heterogeneous group of thyroid diseases. Modern aspects of therapy are shown at the end of the study.
我们回顾了甲状腺炎性疾病发病率、临床特征、一些病因可能性及发病机制的长期研究结果。在患有急性甲状腺炎的人群中，我们呈现了疾病过程中最常见的病因及突出的临床特征，特别关注易感因素。与最常见的观点相反，亚急性（德奎尔万氏）甲状腺炎的病例数与格雷夫斯病的病例数相近。基于这些原因，我们得出结论，尽管亚急性甲状腺炎具有良性，但它仍是一个重要的医学问题。即便亚急性甲状腺炎具有众所周知的临床特征和治疗方法，但其病因及发病机制仍未得到充分评估。被描述为自身免疫性甲状腺炎的慢性甲状腺炎组，表明了这一异质性甲状腺疾病组的病因。研究结尾展示了治疗的现代方面。
