Abstract
|
|
|
Thyroid dysfunction has been reported as a side effect of alpha-interferon (IFN) therapy. The incidence of thyroid disorders was 1.2-12% during IFN therapy for chronic active hepatitis. We experienced a case of hypothyroidism developed after IFN
therapy
in a 48 year-old man with chronic hepatitis B.
Baseline thyroid function before IFN therapy was normal and thyroid autoantibodies were also negative. High tiers of antimicrosomal antibody and anti-thyroglobulin antibody appeared and severe hypothyroidism followed at 6 months after starting
the
IFN
therapy.
