Coexistence of Hashimoto′s thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditis: report of two cases / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Two unusual cases of coexistence of Hashimoto′s thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditis were reported. The diagnosis was based on the comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, laboratory data and histological findings. If patients with confirmed evidence of subacute thyroiditis were accompanied with markedly and persistently elevated titers of thyroid autoantibodies, coexistence of both diseases should be suspected.
