title: [Activation of immunity in patients with recurrent goiter].
abstract: The authors studied the morphological pattern of the thyroid gland in patients with goiter and in those with a recurrence of the disease. They found lymphoid infiltration and autoimmune thyroiditis twice more frequently in patients with recurrent goiter. Dynamic study of features of the immune and thyroid status of patients with recurrent goiter after the operation led to the isolation of a group of patients with an increase in the relative content of T and B lymphocytes and thyroxine. These changes preceded the recurrence of goiter.
