Two patients had two recurrent episodes each of acute suppurative thyroiditis. Circulating concentrations of plasma thyrotrophin, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine were within the range of normal. Antibodies to thyroid microsome or thyroglobulin were not found. Anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides, Peptostreptococcus, and Peptococcus were identified as causative agents, indicating that anaerobic organisms may play an important role in the pathologic process. The present cases are the third and fourth reported cases of recurrent acute suppurative thyroiditis in the literature.
两名患者均出现过两次急性化脓性甲状腺炎复发。血浆促甲状腺激素、甲状腺素和三碘甲状腺原氨酸的循环浓度均在正常范围内。未发现甲状腺微粒体或甲状腺球蛋白抗体。已鉴定出拟杆菌、消化链球菌和消化球菌等厌氧菌为病原体,这表明厌氧菌可能在病理过程中起重要作用。本病例是文献中第三和第四例复发性急性化脓性甲状腺炎的报道病例。
