title: [Risk factors in Graves's-Basedow's disease].
abstract: The paper deals with the current data on aetiological factors of Graves's disease. The cause of Graves's disease is unknown. In general, endogenous and environmental factors are thought to play a certain role in its development. Stressful life, infective agents, lithium therapy, therapeutical radiation in the neck area and smoking, are considered to be environmental factors. Heredity and ethnic origin are endogenous factors.
