["Hyperthyroiditis" (author's transl)].
Typical signs of so-called hyperthyroiditis are hyperthyroidism, low iodine uptake by the thyroid, absence of local, general or humoral signs of inflammation, and absence of significant antibody titres against thyroid tissue. These features are illustrated by the case report of a 51-year-old man. Since the course of hyperthyroidism is short and has a good prognosis, the importance of the diagnosis lies in avoiding unnecessary therapeutic measures. This cause of hyperthyroidism can be recognized only by including tests of intrathyroid iodine metabolism among diagnostic procedures.
