“…Due to these difficulties in diagnosis probably SAT in pregnant women is underestimated. In a population based study in Denmark 2.3% of new cases of hyperthyroidism was due to SAT and another study in hospitalized patients revealed SAT as etiology of thyrotoxicosis in 34.5% of patients (20,21).…”

Background. Thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy may adversely affect mother and fetus. A number of disorders have been described as a cause of thyrotoxicosis in pregnancy. Subacute thyroiditis is a rare cause of thyrotoxicosis in pregnant women. Although self limited, due to both hyper-and subsequent hypothyroidism, this disorder may have deleterious effects in outcome of pregnancy.Case report.A 29 year old woman in the first trimester of pregnancy was referred due to palpitation, malaise and pain in thyroid region. Laboratory data revealed a suppress TSH, elevated Free T4 and high ESR. Pregnancy test was positive. Diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis was made by Doppler sonography of thyroid. A dramatic response to prednisolone was observed. Two months later because of hypothyroidism, levothyroxine was started and continued throughout pregnancy. She delivered a healthy baby at term without complication.Conclusions. Although subacute thyroiditis is rare during pregnancy, its possibility should be kept in mind in hyperor hypothyroid pregnant women.

“…While in these cases the sore throat can be considered to be a direct manifestation of the underlying condition, other illnesses may be associated with sore throat due to a consequent increased predisposition to infection. This may be the case for the often cited link with thyroid disease, where 41 % of patients with newly diagnosed thyroiditis report sore throat as a first symptom [43].…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this review is to examine the causes, pathophysiology and experimental models of noninfectious pharyngitis (sore throat). Introduction The causes of sore throat can be infectious (viruses, bacteria, and fungi) or non-infectious, although the relative proportion of each is not well documented. Methods A PubMed database search was performed for studies of non-infectious sore throat. Results and conclusions Non-infectious causes of sore throat include: physico-chemical factors, such as smoking, snoring, shouting, tracheal intubation, medications, or concomitant illness; and environmental factors including indoor and outdoor air pollutants, temperature and humidity, and hazardous or occupational irritants. The pathophysiology underlying non-infectious sore throat is largely uncharacterised, although neurogenic inflammation looks to be a promising candidate. It is likely that there will be individual disposition factors or the coincidence of more than one irritant with possible-up to now unknown-interactions between them. Therefore, experimental models with defined conditions and objective endpoints are needed. A new model using cold dry air to directly induce pharyngeal irritation in humans, with pharyngeal lavage to measure biomarkers, may provide a useful tool for the study of mechanisms and treatment of non-infectious sore throat.

“…En relación a la causa de hospitalización, también otros estudios han encontrado una frecuencia aumentada de complicaciones cardiovasculares; especialmente, insuficiencia cardíaca y fibrilación auricular; siendo rara la enfermedad isquémica coronaria (9,11,13). Es conocido que la taquicardia sinusal es una complicación frecuente; sin embargo, la fibrilación auricular e insuficiencia cardíaca son las causas principales de muerte en pacientes hipertiroideos mayores de 50 años (19,20).…”

Newly diagnosed thyrotoxicosis in hospitalized patients: clinical characteristics

Abstract: Weakness, weight loss and palpitations were the main symptoms in patients diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis during hospitalization. Thyrotoxicosis should be included in the differential diagnosis when patients are admitted to the hospital with those symptoms.
