Abstract
The development of Graves' disease with positive thyroid-stimulating antibody titers is described in a woman, five months after onset of the putatively viral disorder, acute (subacute) thyroiditis. There was no evidence of transient hyperthyroidism during the acute episode. The arguments for and against a causal relationship between the two diseases have been reviewed. The present experience adds to the earlier suggestion that the association may represent cause and effect.Entities:
