A thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of the thyroid whether autoimmune, infectious or drug-induced. Autoimmune thyroid diseases (including Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease) are the most frequent of all autoimmune pathologies. The clinical presentation and history are often revealing of the pathology and its etiology. Complementary examinations allow to confirm the diagnosis and to follow the evolution of the disease. Sometimes the disease could have a mixed presentation associating two different causes (like a mixed autoimmunity for Graves and Hashimoto diseases). In these cases, the treatment options are not always straightforward and may need to be adapted with the clinical evolution.

Purpose: Several studies suggest a linkage between PCOS and autoimmunity with a high frequency of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) reported in PCOS patients, however, this subject remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of AIT in PCOS women and identify parameters that would serve as independent predictors of AIT.
Methods: Two hundred fifty seven (257) PCOS patients according to the NIH criteria and one hundred forty three (143) controls, women with normal menstrual cycles and without clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, were recruited for the study.
