Interferon induced thyroiditis.

Best practice & research. Clinical endocrinology & metabolism - 1 Dec 2009

Tomer Yaron, Menconi Francesca

Abstract excerpt

Interferon-alpha (IFNalpha) is used for the treatment of various disorders, most notable chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. One of the commonest side effects of IFNalpha therapy is thyroiditis, with up to 40% of HCV patients on IFNalpha developing clinical or subclinical disease. In some cases interferon induced thyroiditis (IIT) may result in severe symptomatology necessitating discontinuation of...
