RESUMO
The function of salivary glands in patients with subacute thyroiditis was evaluated.The data of patients with subacute thyroiditis,primary hypothyroidism,and normal controls undergoing radionuclide scanning were reviewed and compared retrospectively.The ratio of target to non-target values in the salivary glands were decreased in patients with subacute thyroiditis.Thyroid and salivary glands in patients with subacute thyroiditis might be damaged simultaneously and both developed pharyngeal symptoms partly due to the damaged salivary glands.
