Abstract |
The three cases of subacute thyroiditis treated by radioiodine were refractory to systemic corticoid therapy (2-3 recurrences in a mean duration of 7.6 mos) and to external antiinflammatory radiotherapy (relapses after 2 and 4 mos, respectively). No relapse after radioiodine administration has appeared (mean follow-up period: 3 yrs) and post- iodine hypothyroidism was mild.
