title: [Determination of susceptibility to pharmacologic treatment in Graves'-Basedow disease].
abstract: The authors present the results of research on the usefulness of clinical data, thyroid hormones, TSH, antithyroid antibody, HLA estimations and a type of behavior, for prognosing the susceptibility to pharmacological therapy in thyrotoxicosis, specially in Graves disease. The highest chance of predictability was found in patients with small goiter, HLA-DR5 positive with onset of the disease at the age before 40. In general it is difficult to predict the reaction to therapy in individual case with high probability.
