title: [Therapy of thyroid diseases].
abstract: A survey is given on the therapy of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and the bland struma including the thyrogenic crises. Indications and contraindications of the therapeutic measures available are described. During the therapy of hyperthyroidism the suppression test for the control of the course is recommended. Furthermore it is shown that the thyroxine is more favourable for the long-term treatment than triiodine thyronine or the combination preparations offered at present. But the rules described for the treatment of diseases of the thyroid gland must always be adapted to the individual case.
