Abstract
A 53 year-old woman with a 10-days history of upper respiratory tract infection and had fever which relapsed within 3 days was diagnosed to be subacute thyroiditis by clinical story, increased sedimentation rate (112 mm/h), decreased radioactive iodine uptake and by biopsy confirmation. Her typical neck pain regressed within 5 days. Although thyroidal function tests were expected to be hyperthyroid, they were; free-T3: 2.41 pg/ml (1.45-3.48), free-T4: 0.77 ng/dl (0.71-1.85), TSH: 0.039 µIU/ml (0.49-4.67), and antimicrosomal antibody: 35.96 IU/ml (

On gün önce üst solunum yolu infeksiyonu geçiren ve üç gün önce ateş, boğaz ağrısı başlayan 53 yaşındaki kadın hastada anamnez, klinik, sedimantasyonun 112 mm/saat olması, radyoaktif iyot uptake düşüklüğü ve ince iğne aspirasyon biopsi sitolojisinin de desteklemesi ile subakut tiroidit tanısı konuldu. Tiroid bölgesindeki tipik ağrı beş günde azalarak kayboldu. Tiroid fonksiyon testlerinin hipertiroidik olması beklenirken sT3: 2.41 pg/ml (1.45-3.48), sT4: 0.77 ng/dl (0.71-1.85), TSH: 0.039 µIU/ml (0.49-4.67) ve anti-mikrozomal antikor: 35.96 IU/ml (
