title: [A clinical report. Atypical subacute thyroiditis].
abstract: We present a patient 52 years old with a symtomatology of three month's evolution with: rapid weight loss, weakness in legs fasciculated tremor increased by any physical effort, nervousness and anxiety. The isotopic exploration of thyroid in basal conditions and after estimulation with TSH shows a very small captation of iodide. The determination of T 4 shows a notable increase (24 U. U. Normal range is 7,5 to 10,5 U. U.). The clinical symtomatology biochemical and gammagraphic datum support the diagnostic of subacute thyroiditis and also the posterior evolution of symtomatology in spite of the absence of odynophagia and the increase of syze of the thyroid. We comment on the particularity of this clinical entity that could be confused with thireotoxicosis because of its atypical character of presentation.
