The authors studied the role of antibodies to tireoperoksidaze when autoimmune orbitopathy in patients with Graves disease. It is shown that the presence at the TPO from HIV-positive patients with autoimmune thyroid closely correlates with higher rank the severity and intensity (amplitude) autoimmune inflammation in orbit. Findings allowed authors to ascribe the AL to SLIP risk factors increase the severity and activity of autoimmune orbitopathy in patients with Graves disease.
