The association between autoimmune thyroid disorders (AITD) and coeliac disease (CD) is well known, however, most of the literature concentrates on hypothyroidism and CD. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman with Graves' disease (GD) who presented with thyrotoxicosis that was not responsive to medical management. The screening for coeliac autoimmunity (CA) was positive. After initiation of a gluten-free diet the patient's thyrotoxicosis responded to medical management. She was given radioiodine therapy and is currently hypothyroid on a stable dose of thyroxine.
自身免疫性甲状腺疾病(AITD)与乳糜泻(CD)之间的关联已为人熟知,然而,大多数文献都集中在甲状腺功能减退症与CD上。我们报告了一例37岁患有格雷夫斯病(GD)的女性病例,该患者出现了对药物治疗无反应的甲状腺毒症。乳糜泻自身免疫(CA)筛查呈阳性。开始无麸质饮食后,患者的甲状腺毒症对药物治疗产生了反应。她接受了放射性碘治疗,目前处于甲状腺功能减退状态,服用稳定剂量的甲状腺素。
