Infection is extremely rare in the pathology of the thyroid gland. One case is reported, and a review of the literature has helped to emphasize some specific points. Acute thyroiditis can be misdiagnosed in its initial phase because a fever by itself may not lead to a through examination of the neck, even if a goitre is present; the latter being the site of infection in the case reported. Dyspnoea of laryngeal origin proves to be a dangerous complication of thyroid abscesses. Treatment is always surgical, linked with appropriate antibiotic therapy. In the long run, thyroid function is unaffected.
甲状腺病理中感染极为罕见。本文报告1例，并通过文献复习强调了一些要点。急性甲状腺炎在初期可能被误诊，因为即使存在甲状腺肿（本病例中的感染部位），单纯发热本身可能不会促使对颈部进行全面检查；喉部源性呼吸困难被证明是甲状腺脓肿的危险并发症。治疗始终是手术治疗，并辅以适当的抗生素治疗。从长远来看，甲状腺功能不受影响。
