The novel coronavirus infection SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has gone down in history as one of the deadliest pandemics in history. Since the first reports of SARS-CoV-2 infection, a lot of data has appeared regarding the features of the COVID-19 pathogenesis and the effect of the virus on various organs and tissues. It is known that SARS-CoV-2 can cause both pulmonary and systemic inflammation, causing multiple organ dysfunction. In addition, since the beginning of the pandemic, reports of the relationship between COVID-19 and thyroid dysfunction have continued to emerge. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the thyroid gland and the entire hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis can be significant targets for the pathogenic effects of SARS-CoV-2.The classic thyroid dysfunctions in infectious diseases, also described in COVID-19, are subacute thyroiditis and secondary hypothyroidism. Of particular interest is the development of atypical thyroiditis-SARS-CoV-2 against the background of COVID-19, a condition first recorded during COVID-19, associated with formidable cardiovascular complications and high mortality in patients with COVID-19, not previously encountered in other viral infections.This article describes a clinical case of SARS-CoV-2 atypical thyroiditis in a patient with bilateral viral pneumonia in the acute period of COVID-19.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
