An 18 years old mentally retarded male, with morphologic features suggestive of Down syndrome was admitted with fever since 3 weeks. Karyotyping proved trisomy 21. Prominent thyroid swelling with resting tachycardia and hyper-irritability was present. He was found to have multiple renal abscesses and was treated with antibiotics. Thyroid function tests revealed hyperthyroidism which responded to anti-thyroid drugs. So, we report this case of Down syndrome with hyperthyroidism which is a rare association.
一名18岁的智力发育迟缓男性,具有提示唐氏综合征的形态学特征,因发热3周入院。核型分析证实为21三体。存在明显的甲状腺肿大,伴有静息性心动过速和高度易激惹。发现他有多个肾脓肿,并接受了抗生素治疗。甲状腺功能检查显示甲状腺功能亢进,对抗甲状腺药物有反应。因此,我们报告了这例唐氏综合征合并甲状腺功能亢进的病例,这是一种罕见的关联。
