Treatment of children and adolescents with
1.3 μg/kg/day thyroxine for 24 months was shown in a recent study to cause signicant reduction in thyroid size in patients with autoim­mune thyroiditis, but not affect antibody levels, or signicantly alter TSH or freeT4 [261].
When L-T4 and seleno-methionine are given together, they reduce the release of cytokines from monocytes and lymphocytes thus reducing the thyroid peroxidase antibody titre and autoim­mune process in HT [262].
The additional role of diet for the management of HT is usually overlooked, and careful supple­mentation of possible deciencies in HT is rec­ommended for the dietary management of these patients. There are specic nutrients that should be regularly taken to maintain a healthy and func­tional thyroid. The top nutrients are Iodine (I2),
Selenium (Se), and Zinc (Zn). A diet optimizing
these nutrients is vital to an overall recovery plan. Diets benecial for patients with HT include
paleo diet, gluten- free diet, and vegetarian or vegan diet. Gluten and goitrogens are the worst
foods to have in diet of patients with HT as they can have a negative impact on the thyroid.
Surgery
Surgery is generally avoided in HT as it is unnec­essary to induce hypothyroidism. Thyroidectomy is considered in patients with cosmetic problem, with compressive symptoms (e.g., dysphagia, dyspnea, and dysphonia), suspicion of malig­nancy as PTC is commonly associated. Surgery has also benecial effect in cases of “painful thy­roiditis” [263].
Radioactive Iodine (RAI)
RAI treatment can be considered as a “last option” in elderly patients with large goiter in whom thyroiditis is not responding to L-T4 and refusing surgery [263].
Prognosis
With early diagnosis, timely institution of L-T4 replacement therapy, informed patient follow-up care, and attention to other attendant complica­tions, the prognosis in HT is excellent, with patients leading a normal life.
Untreated “myxedema coma” has a poor prog­nosis and a high mortality rate. “Transient peri­ods of thyrotoxicosis” sometimes occur, and rarely the illness may progress to full hyperthyroid
Graves’ disease with active orbitopathy (bulging,
inamed eyes). The increased prevalence of “lipid disorders” in association with untreated hypothyroidism has the potential to increase morbidity from coronary artery disease.
The risk for “PTC” is increased in patients with HT, though not clearly more aggressive than other PTCs [264]. Primary thyroid “B- cell lym-
phoma” affects <1/1000 patients, and it is more
likely to affect those with long-standing autoim­mune thyroiditis.
Complications of over-replacement with L-T4 include accelerated bone loss, reduction in bone mineral density, osteoporosis, tachycardia, increased cardiac wall thickness, and contractil­ity, which raise the risk of cardiac arrhythmias (especially atrial brillation), particularly in the elderly.
12.5.15.2 Focal Lymphocytic
Thyroiditis (Focal Autoimmune Thyroiditis)
This low-grade autoimmune thyroiditis is charac­terized by focal lymphocytic inltrates of <5% of the thyroid gland and is found coincidentally in 50% of women’s and 25% of men’s autopsies, without clinical relevance.
12.5.15.3 Postpartum Thyroiditis
Postpartum thyroiditis occurs in 2–16% of women within 6–12 months after delivery (or abortion) [265, 266]. It represents an exacerba­tion of a preceding (undiagnosed) autoimmune thyroiditis and is classically linked to the haplo­types HLA-DR3, -DR4, and -DR5. Most patients (85%) develop autoantibodies against TPO and Tg, which may disappear with time. Women with a known autoimmune thyroiditis prior to preg­nancy and an elevated titer of autoantibodies against Tg during pregnancy nearly always suffer from a postpartum exacerbation of their autoim­mune thyroiditis. Clinically, patients may show a transient hyperthyroidism state, which rapidly converts to hypothyroidism, and then to euthy-

roidism within 12months. Treatment consists of thyroid hormone replacement when required.
12.5.15.4 Subacute de Quervain’s Thyroiditis
Synonyms include granulomatous, pseudotuber­culous, or giant cell, thyroiditis. Subacute de Quervain’s thyroiditis is a self-limiting disease accounting for 0.5–3% of all thyroid diseases and lasts for up to 2 months [267]. A post-viral cytokine- mediated inammation of the thyroid is suspected because of the seasonal frequency and association with upper respiratory tract infection. In 50% of patients, antibodies against mumps, measles, inuenza, adenovirus, Coxsackie virus, or echovirus are found. Furthermore, a genetic predisposition exists with the haplotype HLA-Bw35.
Women are three to six times more affected than men, with a peak incidence between the sec­ond and fth decades of life. Symptoms include pain in the neck that irradiates to the jaw, ear, face, and down to the chest, fever, lassitude, and weakness. Physical examination reveals an exquisitely tender and enlarged gland. The eryth­rocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is markedly ele­vated. Initially, there is transient hyperthyroidism from destruction of the thyroid follicles by the local inammation process. Later on, hypothy­roidism emerges due to inability to cope with the body’s demand for thyroid hormones, and nally, as healing occurs, euthyroidism is restored. However, permanent hypothyroidism requiring replacement therapy may occur in 15% of patients, and recurrence may be noted in, although at a low rate of 4% [268].
Subacute should be differentiated from acute suppurative thyroiditis. In de Quervain’s thyroid­itis, the gland sonographically reveals irregular hypo-perfused areas instead of hyper-perfused tissue seen with acute suppurative thyroiditis. On FNA, the differential diagnosis further includes palpation thyroiditis, in addition to other granulo­matous diseases such as sarcoidosis, tuberculosis (TB), and rheumatoid diseases.
Treatment is supportive with nonsteroidal anti-inammatory drugs (NSADs) and β-blockers in severe cases with hyperthyroidism.
Corticosteroids are useful when the NSAD medi­cation is not successful, and symptoms usually improve within 2–3 days after the initiation of treatment. However, it may take about 4 weeks for the disappearance of the thyroid mass.
12.5.15.5 Silent (Painless) Thyroiditis (Subacute Lymphocytic Thyroiditis)
Patients with painless thyroiditis present with a diffuse but mild enlargement of the thyroid gland. Thyroid function tests reveal a transient hyper­thyroidism, followed by hypothyroidism and, nally, return to euthyroidism. Autoantibodies against TPO and Tg are found, as well as an asso­ciation with HLA-DR3 and -DR5 haplotypes. Histological examination reveals lymphocytic inltration with destruction of follicles (in con­trast to HT) and absence of giant cell granulomas (in contrast to subacute thyroiditis). Women are more often affected than men with a peak of inci­dence in middle life and the postpartum period. It is a self-limited disease and rarely necessitates thyroid replacement therapy.
A signicant percentage of patients with silent thyroiditis have personal or family history of autoimmune thyroid disease. Most patients have a complete remission, but some develop persis­tent hypothyroidism. Some patients have had alternating episodes of typical “high-uptake” thy­rotoxicosis and episodes of “transient” low­uptake thyrotoxicosis [269]. Recurrence of disease is common in silent thyroiditis but very rare in subacute thyroiditis.
12.5.15.6 Riedel’s Fibrosing Thyroiditis
Riedel’s thyroiditis is a rare chronic thyroiditis in which the thyroid gland is replaced by brous tis­sue. The underlying etiologic mechanisms are unclear, though an autoimmune relation is sus­pected, due to elevated titers of thyroid autoanti­bodies. It is generally considered as a part of a multifocal bro-inammatory process also involving other tissues such as the mediastinum, liver, lung, retro-peritoneum, and orbit.
Women in middle to advanced ages are more affected than men. The clinical often resembles malignancy due to the hard consistency of the

gland. Patients usually complain of rapid indo­lent enlargement of the thyroid that becomes very hard and may suffer from neck discomfort, dys­phagia, hoarseness of voice, and hypoparathy­roidism (due to involvement of the RLN and parathyroid glands). Approximately, 30–40% of patients develop overt hypothyroidism. Physical examination, laboratory analysis, cytology, and imaging features are not useful for differentiating between Riedel’s thyroiditis and neoplastic dis­eases or the brotic variant of Hashimoto’s thy­roiditis [270].
Histological examination is necessary to establish the nal diagnosis, and so surgical biopsy is mandatory. The differential diagnosis further includes anaplastic carcinoma and sar­coma of the thyroid. In contrast to the brotic variant of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis where brosis is strictly limited to the gland, Riedel’s thyroiditis displays a dense brotic replacement of thyroid parenchyma that penetrates the capsule and extends into contiguous neck structures. Once the diagnosis is conrmed, treatment is supportive with thyroid hormone replacement when required.
12.5.16 Non-autoimmune Thyroiditis
Nonimmune thyroiditis consists of a heteroge­neous and rare group of thyroid inammatory diseases. Some of them are infectious while oth­ers are clearly iatrogenic, such as drug-induced thyroiditis and post-operative necrotizing thyroiditis.
12.5.16.1 Acute Infectious Thyroiditis
(Acute Suppurative Thyroiditis)
Infectious thyroiditis is a rare disease of the thy­roid gland caused by bacterial or fungal infec­tion, though mycobacterial, parasitic, and viral forms of thyroiditis have also been described, particularly in immune-suppressed individuals. The thyroid gland appears to be relatively resis­tant to infection. The protective mechanisms include a rich vascular supply, extended lym­phatic drainage, a brous capsule, fascial planes
that anatomically separate the thyroid from other cervical structures, and the high iodine content of the gland, which may have a bacteri­cidal effect. Infection of the gland occurs, either through hematogenous spread from a primary focus or by direct extension from adjacent neck structures, especially in children [271]. Other less common sources of infection include neck trauma, lymphatic spread, or rarely, surgical site infections [272]. The most common predispos­ing factor for suppurative thyroiditis is immuno­suppression associated with HIV, TB, old age, or debilitating diseases. Other predisposing fac­tors include preexisting thyroid diseases, such as MNG, autoimmune thyroiditis, and cancer [272274].
Patients usually present with fever and a pain­ful, mostly unilateral, enlargement of the thyroid, and local inammatory signs. Thyroid function tests are usually normal, but a slight hyper- or hypothyroidism may occur. Laboratory tests show leucocytosis and elevated ESR. Neck US shows patchy hyper-perfused areas in the thyroid with liquid content (pus) when an abscess is pres­ent. A FNAC and cultures can identify the patho­gen and guide the anti-microbial treatment. Immuno-suppressed patients tend to present with more chronic thyroid infections, bilateral disease, and less prominent signs and symptoms. Diagnosis may be reached with a high index of suspicion and aspiration biopsy.
The differential diagnosis includes de Quervain’s thyroiditis, hemorrhage into a thyroid nodule, infected thyroglossal or branchial cyst, infected cystic hygroma, and cervical lymphade­nitis. In addition to FNA, US helps to establish the diagnosis, which may further be rened by CT scan.
When an abscess is identied, surgical drain­age is essential. Occasionally, complete resection of an affected lobe is required. In patients with recurrent acute thyroiditis, an undetected stula must be postulated. Complete removal of the infected stula is, therefore, required to prevent recurrence. Injection of 0.5% methylene blue solution through a Nélaton’s catheter into the s­tula usually enables the complete resection of the tract. When the origin of the stula is difcult to

identify, transection of the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle makes intervention easier.
12.5.16.2 Drug-Induced Thyroiditis
Certain drugs have been reported to cause thy­roiditis, such as chronic I2 therapy, long-term lithium therapy, and anti-convulsants (e.g., phe­nytoin and carbamazepine [216]). Moreover, patients with chronic hepatitis or cancer treated with interferon (IFN)-α will develop painless thyroiditis in about 1–5% of cases [275]. Elevated anti-thyroid antibodies are noted in a higher percentage of these patients, and perma­nent hypothyroidism or Graves’ disease may appear. Thus, TSH should be measured prior to initiation of IFN-α therapy and periodically dur­ing treatment [276].
A painless thyroiditis has been reported in about 2% of the patients treated with Interleukin-2 (IL-2), which is used for immune-modulation in malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, and leukemia, alone or in combination with chemo­therapy. Finally, the anti-arrhythmic drug amiod­arone contains 35% I2 and may cause a thyrotoxic crisis or conversely, cause hypothyroidism. Amiodarone decreases the conversion of T4 to the biologically active T3. If amiodarone therapy is topped, it is not eliminated for months due to its very long half-life [277].
12.5.16.3 Postoperative Necrotizing
Thyroiditis
Postoperative necrotizing thyroiditis is a rare sur­gical complication owing to the very rich vascu­lar supply of the thyroid [278, 279]. It is related to glandular trauma by vigorous manipulation at surgery or through repeated FNA [280]. Such manipulation could induce an acute thyroiditis, which in turn may lead to thyrotoxicosis or nec­rotizing thyroiditis. No predictive marker or fac­tor has been identied. Histologically, the specimen typically shows postoperative granulo­mas, as found in other organs (bladder, prostate) following surgery.
12.5.16.4 Radiation Thyroiditis
Radiation thyroiditis occurs in a dose-related fashion after RAI or external beam radiation ther-
apy, which causes follicle destruction resulting in a transient hyperthyroidism, followed eventually by hypothyroidism. Neck pain and tenderness usually develop 5–10days following treatment. Symptoms are mild and subside spontaneously in a week.
12.5.16.5 Other Causes ofNonImmune Thyroiditis
Other causes of thyroiditis are related to a local process, such as an acute hemorrhage into a thy­roid cyst or nodule. “Palpation thyroiditis” refers to mild, self-limited thyroiditis occurring after physical examination, surgery, or trauma to the thyroid. It is not associated with any thyroid dis­ease. Finally, thyroiditis may be caused by sys­temic diseases, such as vasculitis-associated thyroiditis (phenytoin therapy), sarcoidosis, met­astatic cancer, or a globus hystericus [281].
12.5.17 Indications ofSurgery
inThyroiditis
Surgical interventions are exceptionally indi­cated for the management of thyroiditis, account­ing for <1% of all thyroid procedures [282]. Patients with “autoimmune thyroiditis” are effec­tively managed with thyroid hormone replace­ment therapy, and surgical treatment is the exception. Technical difculties are encountered by the surgeon as the glands are rm, rigid, and highly vascular and the surrounding tissues are inamed with lymphadenopathy, rendering the parathyroids and RLNs at risk. In the rare instance where a large HT may develop and become symptomatic, TT is an option [219, 282, 283]. Moreover, as thyroiditis patients bear a higher risk of developing thyroid carcinoma, a cold nod­ule suspicious on FNA may indicate a thyroid lobectomy. Similarly, the rapid growth of a chronic lymphocytic thyroid gland is suggestive of NHL.While TT may surgically cure a stage I lymphoma (conned to the thyroid), most thyroid lymphomas involve regional LNs and distant sites and require multi-modal systemic therapy. Open biopsy or thyroid lobectomy is sufcient in these cases to establish the denitive diagnosis.

A subacute de Quervain’s thyroiditis excep­tionally deserves thyroidectomy. This indication is given when intractable neck pain is present in spite of a consequent analgesic and L-thyroxin replacement therapy over a period of 6months [282]. The brotic variant of HT is characterized by a rapid enlargement of a preexisting goiter that causes suspicion of a thyroid cancer and con­sequently surgery. Riedel’s brosing thyroiditis often requires an open biopsy to conrm the diagnosis and rule out an anaplastic carcinoma, or isthmectomy and/or lobectomy to decompress the trachea and esophagus. However, thyroidec­tomy can be highly demanding because of the dense brotic reaction extending beyond the thy­roid, which puts the surrounding structures at risk of injury. Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis in the setting of a rare patient with otherwise intrac­table arrhythmia is an indication for thyroidec­tomy. Finally, the acute suppurative thyroiditis is a classic indication for surgical drainage followed by antibiotic therapy, and rarely for lobectomy when the suppurative process is necrotizing.
