[Behavior of antithyroglobulin and antimicrosomal antibodies in thyroid pathology].
The Authors report the behaviour of antithyroid and antimicrosomial antibodies in a group of 394 patients suffering from nodular struma, thyroid adenoma and carcinoma, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, other thyroidites and Basedow's disease. The autoimmune pathology (Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Basedow's disease) is joined to a higher frequency of positive titles for both antibodies. In such pathology we also meet the highest titles. In the non-autoimmune pathology the antimicrosomial antibodies are more frequently positive than the antithyroid ones. If one considers the behaviour of both antibodies, the specificness about the diagnosis of thyroiditis increases.
