Hyperthyroidism associated with acute suppurative thyroiditis

C H Walsh et al. Ir J Med Sci. 1992 May.

Abstract

Acute suppurative thyroiditis is a rare condition with potentially serious complications. It has been suggested that hyperthyroidism may be a feature in occasional cases but this has been poorly documented. We describe a patient in whom acute suppurative thyroiditis caused transient hyperthyroidism.
