Apathetic thyrotoxicosis is an atypical though not rare manifestation of hyperthyroidism. The cardinal features are apathy and depression, as opposed to hyperkinesis and mental alertness in the usual thyrotoxic patient, and are unassociated with the usual signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism, making the diagnosis difficult. We report three cases of apathetic thyrotoxicosis seen during one year.
淡漠型甲状腺毒症是甲状腺功能亢进症的一种非典型但并不罕见的表现形式。其主要特征是淡漠和抑郁,这与普通甲状腺毒症患者的多动和精神警觉相反,且与甲状腺功能亢进症的常见体征和症状无关,这使得诊断变得困难。我们报告了一年内所见的三例淡漠型甲状腺毒症病例。
