The testing of a SCN- dose (32 mg NaSCN/kg oral 21 d long) which is about 100 fold above the alimentary SCN(-)-uptake on guinea pig has shown neither histologic/morphometrical nor clinical clue to thyrostatic effect. In 6 regions of the GDR (1,349 persons) has not been secured epidemiologically any relationship between SCN- serum level as well as SCN- urine level and goiter. The partly in the tendency low increase of SCN- level by patients with bland goiter was always under the levels of smokers without goiter, exceeded indeed the threshold of significance in the area of Werdau. In the industrial agglomeration areas the I(-)-SCN(-)-quotient at the most unfavourable cases ran to 3.5 (Halle, smoker, struma), was consequently close to the critical level of the goiter risk.

Introduction: Atrophic autoimmune thyroiditis (AAT) is a form of autoimmune hypothyroidism characterized by the absence of a goiter. Thyroid stimulation blocking antibody (TSBAb) has been detected in a subset of pediatric AAT cases. Although the disappearance of TSBAb has been linked to the recovery of thyroid function in adult AAT cases, similar outcomes have not been documented in pediatric cases.
