Abstract

The association of chronic urticaria and thyroid autoimmunity is not well recognised and the potential use of levothyroxine in the treatment of chronic urticaria in patients with thyroid autoimmunity is even less well known. In addition, there are reports that chronic urticaria remits in some but not all patients who have evidence of thyroid autoimmunity and are treated with levothyroxine. Although the benefical effect of levothyroxine has been proved in chronic urticaria, the mechanism is not known well. In this report, a female patient with an anaphylactic reaction to levothyroxine theraphy has been presented.

Özet

Kronik ürtiker ve tiroid otoimmünitesi arasındaki sebep-sonuç ilişkisi günümüzde halen tam olarak aydınlatılmamıştır. Tiroid otoimmünitesi ile birlikte olan kronik ürtikerin tedavisinde levotiroksin kullanımı tartışmalı bir tedavi şeklidir. Uygulanan levotiroksin tedavisi ile tüm hastalarda olmasa bile kronik ürtiker belirtilerinde belirgin düzelmenin olduğu bilimsel verilerle gözlenmektedir. Levotiroksin tedavisinin kronik ürtikerli hastalarda faydalı etkisi bilinmekte, ancak etki mekanizmaları çok iyi bilinmemektedir. Bu yazıda tiroid otoantikorları yüksek kronik ürtikerli bir hastada levotiroksine karşı geliştiği düşünülen bir sistemik reaksiyon tablosu sunulmaktadır.
