Faculty of Pharmacy, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Introduction: Autoimmune diseases are complex diseases with genetic, endogenous and environmental etiologies. Viral infections have been postulated as one of the factors that may be the trigger of autoimmune diseases.
Methodology: Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (TG) antibodies were measured before thyroidectomy in 100 subjects by chemiluminescence method, 50 of whom were autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) patients and 50 of whom were multinodular goiter (MNG) patients used as a control group.

Cutaneous infiltration by leukemic cells is uncommon and may be associated with progression of disease. The authors present the case of a 77-year-old female patient, referred to the dermatology clinic for red, erythematous, pruritic papules, which had suddenly appeared on her left hemithorax, along the C6 dermatome, with a 4-week duration. She had already been medicated with Valacyclovir and Acyclovir for 4 weeks, without clinical improvement.

Background: Elevated titers of antibodies against different herpes virus antigens have been reported in some immunodeficient and systemic autoimmune disorders.
Objective: To examine if Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) IgG and IgM antibodies are detected more frequently in children with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) compared to controls.
Subjects And Methods: Thirty-four children with AITD, aged 9.
Detection of herpes virus DNA in post-operative thyroid tissue specimens of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease.

Aim: To demonstrate any differences in the detection of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2, cytomegalovirus, human herpes virus type 6 and 7 DNA from thyroid tissue blocks of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease and multi-nodular goiter and to propose few mechanisms, which could explain the possible role of herpesvirus infection in the development of thyroid autoimmune responses.
Material-methods: Thyroid tissue specimens were obtained postoperatively from 4 patients with multinodular goiter and 18 patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (Graves' disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis). Herpes virus DNA was detected using polymerase chain reaction based assays.
