Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is sometimes a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. Endocrine causes reported in the literature include subacute thyroiditis, thyrotoxicosis, adrenal insufficiency and pheochromocytoma. Among these, subacute thyroiditis is often overlooked as it can occasionally lack typical symptoms. This case illustrates the fact that subacute thyroiditis should be considered as a possible cause of fever even if signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism and thyroid tenderness are absent.

Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is an inflammatory thyroid disease characterized by neck pain, tenderness, general symptoms, and thyroid dysfunction. Despite gaining new insights into the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of SAT in recent years, the exact pathogenesis and determinants of its clinical progression remain unclear. Here, we profiled thyroid in situ protein alterations in fine needle aspiration biopsy samples from SAT patients using proteomic analysis and uncovered 57 differentially abundant proteins.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explored the possible link between COVID-19 vaccinations and thyroid issues, particularly thyroiditis, using data from over 7.5 million adults and adolescents in Korea.
- - Results indicated a slight increase in the risk of hypothyroidism exacerbation after vaccination, but not for other thyroid conditions like hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis in both adults and adolescents.
- - Overall, the findings suggest that COVID-19 vaccinations are generally safe for thyroid health, with the exception of a noted risk for worsening hypothyroidism.

Background: Since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the potential roles of thyroid-inflammatory derangements in driving or being associated with the prognosis of COVID-19 remain controversial. We aimed to clarify the association between COVID-19 infection and thyroid dysfunction, and highlight the impacts of subsequent autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) on the prognosis of COVID-19.
Methods: The retrospective, multicenter, cohort study enrolled 2,339 participants with COVID-19 from three hospitals located in the north, middle, and south regions of Shaan Xi Province, China, between December 2022 and July 2023.
