Four patients are described who were surreptitiously taking thyroxine-containing tablets. In two cases this caused considerable diagnostic problems. The diagnosis should be considered in patients with clinical features of hyperthyroidism (but without goitres or proptosis), who appear psychiatrically abnormal and whose thyroid function tests show conflicting results.
本文描述了4例偷偷服用含甲状腺素片的患者。其中2例造成了相当大的诊断难题。对于有甲状腺功能亢进临床特征（但无甲状腺肿大或突眼）、出现精神异常且甲状腺功能检查结果相互矛盾的患者，应考虑这一诊断。
