title: [Suppurative thyroiditis with fatal course in diabetics].
abstract: The authors report two case studies of suppurative thyroiditis in type II diabetics patients, giving emphasis to the rapid evolution for sepsis, which took one of the patients to death. An earlier diagnosis, antibiotictherapy and a large surgical drainage are essential to avoid a fatal course in these patients. A brief review of suppurative thyroiditis is also presented.
