Article Synopsis
- Thyroid storm (TS) is a serious medical emergency mostly triggered by Graves' disease (GD), and can occur after immune reconstitution therapy with the drug alemtuzumab in patients with multiple sclerosis.
- A case is highlighted involving a 39-year-old woman who developed TS due to GD triggered by alemtuzumab, and she was treated with antithyroid medications followed by a thyroidectomy.
- There is some evidence suggesting that GD caused by alemtuzumab may be less aggressive than typical GD, but it's crucial for doctors to be vigilant about the risk of severe complications like TS, which necessitate quick treatment.
