Iodine-induced hyperthyroidism can develop even in the presence of an otherwise normal gland. One of the less common sources of iodine is tablets of seaweed, sold over the counter without prescription. We report the case of a 72 year old female who developed clinical and laboratory evidence of hyperthyroidism while ingesting sea-kelp (Vitalia) tablets. Six months after stopping the tablets, the symptoms and laboratory evidence of hyperthyroidism had disappeared. No evidence of pre-existing thyroid disease was found.
即使甲状腺原本正常，碘也可能引发甲状腺功能亢进。碘的一种不太常见来源是无需处方即可在柜台出售的海藻片。我们报告了一例72岁女性的病例，该女性在服用海带（Vitalia）片时出现了甲状腺功能亢进的临床和实验室证据。停止服用该片剂六个月后，甲状腺功能亢进的症状和实验室证据消失。未发现既往存在甲状腺疾病的证据。
