Involvement of the thyroid gland with tuberculosis (TB) is unusual and is commonly associated with hypothyroidism. Involvement of the thyroid as a part of disseminated TB is even rarer. Dissemination is an indication of immunosuppression. We present a 16-year-old immunocompetent girl with disseminated TB involving the thyroid gland and the right radius bone with features of hyperthyroidism. The patient responded well to anti-TB treatment.
甲状腺结核较为罕见,通常与甲状腺功能减退有关。作为播散性结核病一部分的甲状腺受累更为罕见。播散是免疫抑制的一种表现。我们报告一例16岁免疫功能正常的女孩,患有播散性结核病,累及甲状腺和右桡骨,并伴有甲状腺功能亢进的特征。该患者对抗结核治疗反应良好。
