Thyroiditis

  • Chapter

Abstract

In this chapter, six thyroid disease are described. Each has an inflammatory pathology, but they are only loosely connected clinically and there is not a common aetiology. Table 9.1 lists these disorders and their eponyms and synomyms and probable causes. Hashimoto’s thyroidities is extremely common in clinical practice, and it is said to be the most prevalent thyroid disease. In contrast, acute suppurative thyroiditis and Riedel’s thyroiditis are rarities. Each syndrome is presented individually starting with the commonest.
