Subacute thyroiditis is rare in young children. This case highlights how adenovirus antibodies and thyroid function tests can diagnose it, even when symptoms mimic infection.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Endocrinology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Thyroidology

Background:

  • Subacute thyroiditis is uncommon in children under 10.
  • Distinguishing it from other thyroid conditions can be challenging.

Observation:

  • A 2-year-old child presented with symptoms mimicking acute suppurative thyroiditis.
  • Initial clinical, sonographic, and radioisotopic findings were inconclusive.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed by elevated adenovirus antibody titers.
  • Thyroid function tests showed characteristic changes consistent with subacute thyroiditis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known age range for subacute thyroiditis.
  • Highlights the importance of considering viral triggers and specific antibody testing in pediatric thyroiditis.
