Subacute thyroiditis as evidence of SARS-CoV2 related autoimmune disorders and case descriptions
Subacute thyroiditis has been classified as an auto inflammatory condition and occurs mainly due to a viral infection. According to the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV2 infection, which is mainly based on the uncontrolled inflammatory immune response, several studies have investigated the possible association between SARS-CoV2 and subacute thyroiditis. In this regard, we aimed to review and organize these studies.
First, we observed and provided evidence on the possible roles and mechanisms of SARS-CoV2 in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, and then we discussed the findings on the association between subacute thyroiditis and SARS-CoV2 infection.
Regarding other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, together with previous experience on the role of viruses in the pathogenesis of subacute thyroiditis, as well as studies on the inflammatory mechanism of SARS-CoV2 infection, support this hypothesis that SARS-CoV2 may initiate subacute thyroiditis.
Evidence so far suggests that subacute thyroiditis should be considered as a later symptom of covid-19.
