Abstract

Relapses of subacute thyroiditis, hypothyrosis or autoimmune thyroiditis more often develop in the patients with manifest immune shifts after therapy than in those with normal or moderately shifted immune status; this factor appears to be useful for the prediction of the disease outcome and for planning the treatment strategy.
