“…In contrast, permanent hypothyroidism appears to be rare if no thyroid operations are performed (Greene 1971). The incidence of permanent hypothyroidism rises to 75-78% in patients with SAT who have been subjected to thyroid surgery (Lindsay & Dailey 1954;Hendrick 1956;Steinetal. 1961).…”

The occurrence of permanent overt or subclinical hypothyroidism following subacute thyroiditis (SAT) was studied in 32 patients during 0.75\p=n-\13 years (mean 4.2 years) of follow-up. Permanent hypothyroidism developed in 2 patients in whom a characteristic feature was persistence of circulating thyroid antibodies in high titres from the onset of SAT indicating the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis. One also showed cytological evidence of autoimmune thyroiditis. In another patient subclinical hypothyroidism demonstrated by an exaggerated TSH-response to TRH, persisted after hemithyroidectomy during the acute phase. In addition, transient overt hypothyroidism developed immediately after the acute phase in 3, and subclinical hypothyroidism in 2 patients. Apart from the 2 patients with evidence of autoimmune thyroiditis, circulating thyroid antibodies were found in 15 others. The titres were usually low and disappeared in most cases after a transient rise. It is concluded that permanent hypothyroidism is likely to develop after SAT only in the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis or after thyroid surgery.

“…[6] Acute/subacute suppurative thyroiditis leading to a thyroid abscess is a rare clinical entity, representing less than 1% of all brucella complications and 0.1% to 0.7% of all surgically treated thyroid diseases. [7,8] Hendrick et al [9] reported that 28 (24%) of 117 patients had acute thyroiditis and only 6 patients (5%) had thyroid abscess. Thyroid abscess is uncommon because of the gland status, such as anatomic position, its capsulated nature, iodine-rich environment, bilateral blood flow, anastomosing superior and inferior arteries with extensive lymphatic drainage that provide protection against bacterial invasion and growth.…”
