An 11-month-old infant was treated elsewhere for congenital hypothyroidism with weekly doses of levothyroxine. The infant had cardinal features of cretinism including poor growth, delayed skeletal maturation, and mental retardation. Treatment of such infants with weekly doses of levothyroxine cannot be justified.
一名11个月大的婴儿在其他地方接受先天性甲状腺功能减退症治疗,每周服用左甲状腺素。该婴儿有克汀病的主要特征,包括生长发育不良、骨骼成熟延迟和智力迟钝。用每周剂量的左甲状腺素治疗此类婴儿是不合理的。
