Summary
Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) can occur after COVID-19 infection. Neck pain and fever are common symptoms, but patients typically recover fully, highlighting the need for clinical awareness.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Infectious Diseases
- Pathology
Background:
- Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) has been reported as a complication following COVID-19.
- The clinical presentation and outcomes of post-COVID-19 SAT require further definition.
Approach:
- A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
- Data from 38 patients across 26 case reports, series, and letters on SAT associated with COVID-19 were analyzed.
Key Points:
- Neck pain and fever were the most common symptoms of SAT post-COVID-19.
- SAT onset ranged from simultaneous with COVID-19 to 4 months after, typically occurring weeks later.
- All analyzed patients recovered without severe complications or sequelae.
Conclusions:
- Clinicians should consider SAT in patients presenting with neck pain and fever after COVID-19.
- Further research is needed to elucidate the relationship between COVID-19 and SAT development.

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...

Introduction:For diagnosing acute pyelonephritis, a comprehensive patient history is collected to identify symptoms such as dysuria, frequent or urgent urination, flank pain, or costovertebral angle (CVA) tenderness that may suggest a kidney infection.Physical ExaminationDuring the physical examination, CVA tenderness is assessed. This involves gentle percussion over the costovertebral angle, where tenderness often indicates a kidney infection.Diagnostic TestsUrinalysis: Used to identify white...
