title: [Characteristics of thyrotoxicosis in men].
abstract: The clinical and laboratory data were examined in 227 men presenting with thyrotoxicosis and compared with the data obtained during examination of 100 thyrotoxic women. In men, thyrotoxicosis ran a far graver course than in women, showing a rapid progress. Early manifestations of the disease consisted in the impairment of cardiovascular and nervous system functions. Diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis in men is associated with considerable difficulties, particularly at the early disease stages. It should be based on a comprehensive analysis of the disease history, the clinical and laboratory data and study of the impairment of the functions of the cardiovascular, nervous and other systems.
