title: The frequency of thyrotoxicosis in war time period.
abstract: The frequency of thyrotoxicosis in peace and war time periods was compared in the same region with the same population. In one year peace and war time periods 54 and 87 cases of thyrotoxicosis were found, respectively, which indicates the increase for 62%. The results point to the conclusion that psychic trauma increases the number of patients affected by thyrotoxicosis.
