Fatma Aybala Altay et al. Hum Vaccin Immunother. .

Abstract

A peritoneal dialysis patient who experienced a repeating attack after a vaccination for influenza while she was being followed and treated succesfully for subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is presented. This case shows SAT as a rare condition following vaccination.. Thus, SAT should be considered as a possible outcome following influenza vaccination and flu-like syndrome.

Keywords: influenza; subacute thyroiditis; vaccine.
