title: [Tri-iodine-thyronin (T3)-hyperthyreosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Report on a girl aged 12 years and 2 months and a boy aged almost 14. The first always had normal T4- with always raised T3, belongs, therefore, to the entity T3-hyperthyreosis described by Hollander in 1968. The boy had clear clinical signs of hyperthyreosis, but was untreated for 14 months, because a nuclear medical institute had found T4 to be normal and did not investigate T3. One suspects that proper treatment would have been given, if T3 would have been examined early. Discussion of the entity: T3 hyperthyreosis and of the circumstances under which T3 may be found to be raised even in the absence of the disease.
