초록

저자들은 아급성 갑상선염을 진단 받고 보존적 치료를 시행 후 호전된 환자에서 2년 후 그레이브스병이 발병한 1예를 경험하여 아급성 갑상선염 환자에서 자가면역항체가 양성을 보일 경우 추후 그레이브스병의 발생에 대한 지속적인 추적 관찰이 필요할 수 있음을 강조하면서 보고하는 바이다.

Subacute thyroiditis is a spontaneously resolving inflammatory disease of the thyroid gland, which is usually associated with aviral infection and genetic factors. In some cases of this disorder, thyroid autoantibodies can appear, probably due to the inflammatoryrelease of thyroid antigens, althoughtheir pathophysiological role in the course of this disease is not yet fullyunderstood. The occurrence of Graves' disease after subacute thyroiditis is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported.Here, we report a case of a middle-aged woman who developed Graves' disease after subacute thyroiditis.
