Thyroid storm is a rare, life-threatening condition which arises in patients with thyrotoxicosis, with an annual incidence of 2 patients per 1,000,000 and a mortality rate of 11%.
We present the case of a 46-year-old-female with a medical history of controlled mild intermittent asthma, who presented with a severe asthma exacerbation, that triggered thyroid storm after exposure to polyurethane fumes.
This patient represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first patient in whom the stress related to a severe asthma attack triggered the development of thyroid storm. She also is the first patient with no indication of cardiac dysfunction who developed fatal cardiac arrest after initiation of b-blockade for treatment of thyroid storm.
甲状腺危象是一种罕见的、危及生命的疾病，发生于甲状腺毒症患者中，年发病率为每100万人中有2例，死亡率为11%。
我们报告一例46岁女性病例，该患者有轻度间歇性哮喘且病情得到控制的病史，此次因严重哮喘发作就诊，在接触聚氨酯烟雾后引发了甲状腺危象。
据我们所知，该患者是首例因严重哮喘发作相关应激引发甲状腺危象的患者。她也是首例在无心脏功能障碍迹象的情况下，在开始使用β受体阻滞剂治疗甲状腺危象后发生致命性心脏骤停的患者。
