Subacute thyroiditis is a self-limiting inflammatory disorder, characterized by neck pain or discomfort, a tender diffuse goiter, and sometimes a transient episode of hyperthyroidism followed by euthyroidism and sometimes hypothyroidism. There is usually a normalization of thyroid function within a few weeks. Subacute thyroiditis has a higher incidence in summer and has been linked to a viral or bacterial upper respiratory postinfection inflammatory response. We hereby describe the case of a previously healthy 37-year-old female presenting with subacute thyroiditis associated with a very mild presentation of COVID-19. As most patients with SARS-Cov-2 are asymptomatic, we suggest to rule out SARS-Cov-2 infection in patients presenting with symptoms suggesting SAT.
亚急性甲状腺炎是一种自限性炎症性疾病,其特征为颈部疼痛或不适、弥漫性甲状腺压痛,有时伴有短暂的甲状腺功能亢进期,随后是甲状腺功能正常,有时还会出现甲状腺功能减退。甲状腺功能通常在几周内恢复正常。亚急性甲状腺炎在夏季发病率较高,与病毒或细菌感染后的上呼吸道炎症反应有关。我们在此描述一例既往健康的37岁女性,患有亚急性甲状腺炎,并伴有非常轻微的新冠病毒病表现。由于大多数新冠病毒患者无症状,我们建议对出现提示亚急性甲状腺炎症状的患者排除新冠病毒感染。
