[Hypothyroidism following intermittent administration of potassium iodide].
Iodide-induced hypothyroidism with high TSH and low T4 under long term potassium iodide medication was observed in a toddler suffering from chronic wheezy bronchitis -- in spite of intermittent application. The pathophysiology of iodide-induced hypothyroidism and the apparent immaturity of adaptation to high exogenous iodide in newborn and infants are discussed.
