新型冠状病毒感染诱发甲状腺功能异常4例

Thyroid dysfunction induced by novel coronavirus infection in four cases

新型冠状病毒感染(COVID-19)全球暴发以来,关于新型冠状病毒的研究不断深入,发现COVID-19除诱发严重急性呼吸综合征外,还存在影响其他系统和器官的可能性。甲状腺作为自身免疫应答易受攻击的内分泌器官,国外可见若干关于COVID-19诱发甲状腺疾病的报道,国内相关报道极少。该研究报道了4例COVID-19后甲状腺功能异常病例,并对其临床特点进行总结,为临床医生实际工作提供帮助。

Since the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus infection(COVID-19),research on the novel coronavirus has continued to deepen,and it has been found that COVID-19 has the possibility of affecting other systems and organs in addition to causing severe acute respiratory syndrome.Thyroid is an endocrine organ vulnerable to autoimmune response.There have been several reports of COVID-19-induced thyroid diseases abroad,but few reports in China.This study reports four cases of abnormal thyroid function after COVID-19 and summarizes their clinical characteristics to provide help for clinicians in their practical work.
