TIREOIDITE PÓS-COVID: UM ESTUDO DE CASO

PÓS-COVID THYROIDITIS: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

Subacute thyroiditis is an uncommon form of thyrotoxicosis, often associated with viral infections. Diagnosis relies on clinical history combined with complementary examinations. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the incidence of thyroiditis increased significantly. This report presents the case of a female patient who developed mild SARS-CoV-2 infection and subsequently manifested thyrotoxicosis a few weeks later. The clinical course, complete recovery, and the relevance of medical follow-up are discussed. The findings suggest that the pandemic contributed to a higher incidence of subacute thyroiditis, particularly among women, underscoring the importance of early medical evaluation and thyroid screening in post-COVID patients.
