Thyroid function in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Plasma thyroid hormones were measured in 8 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The results showed that plasma TT_3 and FT_3 levels were decreased and plasma rT_3 level tended to increase in these patients. These findings are in accord with the diagnosis of low T_3 syndrome.
