An elderly patient with thyrotoxicosis complicated by lack of classical clinical signs and normal conventional tests is described. The picture was compounded by development of apathy and depression. This is the second case report of apathetic T3 thyrotoxicosis in the literature. Such a clinical entity can easily be overlooked, but represents one of the treatable disorders of 'old age depression'.
本文描述了一位老年甲状腺毒症患者，该患者缺乏典型临床体征且常规检查结果正常。患者出现淡漠和抑郁症状，使病情更加复杂。这是文献中关于淡漠型T3甲状腺毒症的第二篇病例报告。这种临床病症很容易被忽视，但却是“老年抑郁症”中可治疗的病症之一。
