Two cases of co-existing thyroid disease and ulcerative colitis are reported. Thyroid disorder preceded ulcerative colitis in each case. The presence of acute colitis delayed and obscured the clinical diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis in one case and the colitis could not be controlled until her thyrotoxicosis was treated. Although the specific factors involved in this relationship are now known, an interplay of immunological factors is most probable.
报告了两例甲状腺疾病与溃疡性结肠炎并存的病例。在每个病例中，甲状腺疾病均先于溃疡性结肠炎出现。在其中一例中，急性结肠炎的存在延迟并掩盖了甲状腺毒症的临床诊断，并且在其甲状腺毒症得到治疗之前，结肠炎无法得到控制。尽管目前尚不清楚这种关系中涉及的具体因素，但最有可能的是免疫因素之间的相互作用。
