PG - 853-5 LID - 10.1089/thy.2012.0055 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: An immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) may complicate immune restoration following start of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. The occurrence of Graves' disease in the setting of an IRIS is well recognized. We hereby report a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, presenting as an acute painful thyroiditis, and as a complication of IRIS. SUMMARY: A painful acute thyroiditis with thyrotoxicosis occurred in a 37-year-old HIV-infected woman 10 months after initiation of ART. This thyroiditis was associated with the appearance of a high titer of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies and was followed by persistent hypothyroidism, requiring thyroxine replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Hashimoto's thyroiditis may present as an acute thyroiditis with thyrotoxicosis in HIV-infected patients after initiation of ART. Clinicians caring for HIV-infected patients should be aware of this possible association.
