[Manifestation of hyperthyroidism before and following alimentary iodine administration. Follow-up studies in Brandenburg 1983-1988].
In a well-defined area with a centralized endocrinologic and nuclear medicine care the change of manifestation of hyperthyreosis was studied by complete inquiry before and during goiter prophylaxis. The area is known as an iodine deficiency one with endemic goiter (glacial downstream). In connection of time of completing alimentary iodine the dates show an increase of hyperthyreoidism by factor 1.6 in 1985 and by factor 3 in 1987. The increase concerns both Graves' disease and Plummer's disease. Methodological problems of the investigations are discussed. The results show an effectivity of goiter prophylaxis and do not enclose any danger for the patients.
