[Evaluation of thyroid anti-membrane and anti-thyroglobulin antibody determination in patients with thyroid cysts treated with external drainage under ultrasonographic control].
In patients (43 women and 12 men) external open drainage under ultrasonography control was performed. In 25 cases contents of serous nature, in 27 cases of colloid and in 3 cases of suppurative character were obtained. Anti-membrane thyroid antibodies (ATMA) and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (Tg-Ab tire) were determined in the cyst contents as well as in the serum. The antibodies were present in the serum of 48% of the patients with serous cyst and in 52% with colloidal cysts. In serous cyst contents, ATMA and Tg-Ab antibodies were present in 52% of cases, while in the colloidal contents ATMA antibodies were found in 60% of patients and Tg-Ab antibodies in 68%. In 3 patients with cysts containing pus no antibodies were found. When antibodies were detected in the contents of serous and colloidal cysts their presence were also found in the serum. Among 55 cases with thyroid cysts, the antibodies were found in the serum of 47% of patients. The results indicate involvement of immunological factors the role of which has not been explained.
