title: Diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in patients with thyroiditis: a case study.
abstract: A diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis can be difficult to make in the early stages of disease, especially when patients present with symptoms of a hyperthyroid state that are nonspecific and mild. Using three case histories, the authors demonstrate how an early diagnosis of thyroiditis was made in these patients.
