A viral aetiology for sub-acute (de Quervain's) thyroiditis has long been postulated although proof has been elusive. Infectious mononucleosis has been associated with sub-acute thyroiditis in only two papers, and histological evidence of sub-acute thyroiditis was lacking in both. A case of sub-acute thyroiditis, confirmed by histology, occurring in a patient with infectious mononucleosis is now reported.
尽管一直以来都推测亚急性(de Quervain氏)甲状腺炎的病因是病毒感染,但一直未能找到确凿证据。仅有两篇论文报道了传染性单核细胞增多症与亚急性甲状腺炎有关,不过这两篇论文均缺乏亚急性甲状腺炎的组织学证据。本文现报告一例经组织学确诊、发生于传染性单核细胞增多症患者的亚急性甲状腺炎病例。
