33岁女性,颈部疼痛(2周前开始,持续锐痛,放射到下巴和耳朵)
偶尔有稀烂大便,觉得疲倦、劳累、肌无力
体温较高,体检发现甲状腺弥散性增大(轻轻触碰即引起剧烈疼痛)
1.诊断?
Subacutegranulomatousthyroiditis(SGT=deQuervain’sthyroiditis)=①neckpain(oftenradiatingtothejaw)②exquisitethyroidtenderness③diffusegoiter
病人loosestools,decreasedTSH,elevatedT3andT4为early-stageSGT表现
2.病理生理学?
Viralinfectionofthethyroidglandorapostviralinflammatoryprocess
病人一般会有发病前(颈部疼痛)2-8周有upperrespiratoryinfection
无论诱导SGT的因素是啥,导致的结果都是thyroidinflammationdamagesthyroidfolliclesandreleaselargequantitiesofT4andT3intothecirculation,producingclinicalandbiochemicalhyperthyroidism(onlylastsuntilthereleasedT4andT3aremetabolized)→thyroidfollicularcells的破坏以及高T3和T4水平对TSHrelease的抑制(抑制新的甲状腺素合成)
3.自然病史?
