Abstract
RIZZO, Leonardo F. L; MANA, Daniela L and BRUNO, Oscar D. Tiroiditis no-autoinmunes. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2014, vol.74, n.6, pp.506-509. ISSN 0025-7680.
The term thyroiditis comprises a group of thyroid diseases characterized by the presence of inflammation, including autoimmune and non-autoimmune entities. It may manifest as an acute illness with severe thyroid pain (subacute thyroiditis and infectious thyroiditis), and conditions in which the inflammation is not clinically evident evolving without pain and presenting primarily thyroid dysfunction and/or goiter (drug-induced thyroiditis and Riedel thyroiditis). The aim of this review is to provide an updated approach on non-autoimmune thyroiditis and its clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
Keywords : Subacute thyroiditis; Riedel thyroiditis; Amiodarone-induced thyroiditis.
