    This study reveals autoimmune aggression in toxic goiter patients, with immune disturbances worsening alongside clinical severity. Humoral immunity was stable, while cellular immunity showed less specific changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Immunology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Toxic goiter, a form of thyrotoxicosis, is often associated with autoimmune processes.
    • Understanding the interplay between histostructure, humoral immunity, and cellular immunity is crucial for managing this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare histostructural features of toxic goiter tissue with indicators of autoimmune aggression.
    • To evaluate humoral and cellular immune responses in patients with thyrotoxicosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Histostructural analysis of toxic goiter tissue.
    • Assessment of humoral parameters of autoimmune aggression.
    • Measurement of lymphoblast transformation intensity.
    • Intradermal hypersensitivity testing for delayed-type reactions.

    Main Results:

    • Most patients exhibited significant autoimmune aggression, irrespective of goiter parenchyma structure or lymphoid infiltration.
    • Immunological disturbances correlated positively with the clinical severity of thyrotoxicosis.
    • Humoral autoimmune aggression was consistently marked, whereas cellular immunity changes were less pronounced and specific.

    Conclusions:

    • Immunological changes in toxic goiter appear to follow a phasic development.
    • Cellular immunity alterations may be secondary to increased lymphocytic activity.
    • Autoimmune aggression is a key feature in toxic goiter pathogenesis.
