In this case report we describe a 49 year-old man who presented with chronic urticaria, angioedema and soft stool consistency. During diagnostic examinations Hashimoto’s thyroiditis was found even though the patient never had clear symptoms of this disease. Blastocystis hominis was isolated through a stool microbiologic examination, implicating that this parasite can cause the development of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and chronic urticaria. After two-weeks treatment with metronidazole the Blastocystis hominis was eradicated, then urticaria and angioedema disappeared. During the four years of follow-up, the patient presented without any symptoms, whereas thyroid hormones were normalized and anti-thyroid antibodies declined. For the first time in the literature we show that eradication of Blastocystis hominis can prevent the development of both symptomatic Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and chronic urticaria.

Slight Elevation

INTRODUCTION: Patients with Down syndrome (DS) often have elevated TSH (hypothalamic origin), which is called TSH neurosecretory dysfunction (TSH-nd). In these cases, there is slight elevation in TSH (5-15 µUI/mL), with normal free T4 and negative thyroid antibodies (AB). OBJECTIVE: To recognize the risk of progression to Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 40 DS patients (mean age = 4.5 years), followed up for 6.8 years. RESULTS: HT was diagnosed in 9/40 patients, three early in monitoring, and six during evolution. In 31/40 patients, TSH-nd diagnosis remained unchanged over the years, with maximum TSH values ranging from 5 to 15 µUI/mL. In this group, free T4 also remained normal and AB were negative. There was a significant TSH reduction (p = 0.017), and normal TSH concentrations (< 5.0 µUI/mL) were observed in 29/31 patients, in at least one moment. No patient had TSH > 15 µUI/mL. CONCLUSION: DS patients with TSH-nd present low risk of progression to HT (10% for females and 6% for males).

Introduction. The World Health Organization (WHO) exclusively recommends breastfeeding for the first six months of the newborn life. Many factors affect milk production. Physical exercise can significantly affect prolactin secretion in the blood. Case report. A respondent in this study was a primipara (33 years old) diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and a singleton pregnancy. During pregnancy and after the childbirth, she continued with light to moderate physical exercise. During the first six months after the childbirth, the light to moderate intensity aerobic exercise had no negative impact on the blood level of prolactin and growth and development of the child. Conclusion. In this case study, light to moderate intensity aerobic exercise had no negative impact on the level of prolactin in the blood during the first six months after the childbirth in a woman with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Rule Out

Abstract. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and who developed a low-grade fever, fatigue, and weight loss that prompted to perform a thyroid biopsy to rule out an underlying primary thyroid lymphoma. This case report offers the opportunity to review the association between Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and primary thyroid lymphoma. Furthermore, it underlines the importance of considering the diagnosis of lymphoma when a thyroid mass is found in patients with an underlying Hashimoto’s disease, as the timely management is essential for survival with this rare thyroid condition.
