On a traité une femme de 33 ans qui présentait une thyroïdite indolore typique du post-partum. Sa sœur avait présenté un épisode comparable 13 ans auparavant et leur mère avait présenté une hyperthyroïdie du post-partum 42 ans plus tôt. Cette association familiale est une nouvelle preuve d'auto-immunité dans la thyroïdite du post-partum. 2, record 1, French, - thyro%C3%AFdite%20du%20post%2Dpartum

De Quervain's thyroiditis (sometimes called subacute thyroiditis) is a painful swelling of the thyroid gland that is thought to be triggered by a viral infection, such as mumps or the flu ... De Quervain’s thyroiditis settles down after a few days and is often followed by a spell of hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid hormone) lasting a few weeks, before the thyroid gland recovers completely. 3, record 6, English, - subacute%20thyroiditis

Thyroïdite allergique expérimentale. L'injection d'extraits de thyroïde émulsifiée dans de l'adjuvant complet de Freund à des cobayes ou à des souris provoque l'apparition d'une thyroïdite qui ressemble étroitement à la thyroïdite d'Hashimoto et à la thyroïdite spontanée du poulet obèse. On observe les mêmes lésions destructrices entraînant la perte de l'architecture folliculaire normale et les mêmes infiltrats de cellules mononucléées. On retrouve des autoanticorps antithyroïde et une hypersensibilité retardée vis-à-vis de la thyroglobuline. 1, record 7, French, - thyro%C3%AFdite%20allergique%20exp%C3%A9rimentale
