ABSTRACT
Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 20 cases with Hashimoto's thyroiditis complicated with subacute thyroiditis from February 2009 to April 2013.85% of the patients showed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP).Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) was found in 95 % of the patients,while thyroid globulin antibody (TgAb) in 100%.Uptakes of radioactive iodine were lowered.Symptoms such as fever or pain were ameliorated quickly after treatment with glucocorticoids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
