Graves' disease following acute (subacute) thyroiditis. 1979

S C Werner

The development of Graves' disease with positive thyroid-stimulating antibody titers is described in a woman, five months after onset of the putatively viral disorder, acute (subacute) thyroiditis. There was no evidence of transient hyperthyroidism during the acute episode. The arguments for and against a causal relationship between the two diseases have been reviewed. The present experience adds to the earlier suggestion that the association may represent cause and effect.

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
