[Lympho-plasmacellular thyroiditis and diabetes mellitus]

T Gyr, C Hedinger

    Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
    |November 28, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diabetics, particularly insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients, show significantly higher rates of thyroid lymphocytic infiltrations. These findings suggest a potential autoimmune link in IDDM, even in asymptomatic individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Immunology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Investigates lymphocytic infiltrations in thyroid tissue.
    • Compares autopsy cases of diabetic patients with non-diabetic controls.
    • Focuses on patients up to 55 years of age.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the prevalence and characteristics of thyroid lymphocytic infiltrations in diabetic individuals.
    • To compare the incidence of these infiltrations between insulin-dependent diabetics, non-insulin-dependent diabetics, and non-diabetic controls.

    Summary:

    • A retrospective autopsy study analyzed thyroids from 44 diabetic patients (up to age 55) and 72 controls.
    • Insulin-dependent diabetics exhibited a significantly higher frequency (38.5%) of substantial lymphocytic infiltrations (>10 per 100 mm²) compared to non-diabetic controls (6.9%) and non-insulin-dependent diabetics (9.7%).
    • Most affected individuals were asymptomatic, with one case of clinical hypothyroidism noted.

    Impact:

    • Highlights a potential autoimmune etiology or association in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
    • Suggests the importance of monitoring thyroid function in diabetic patients, even in the absence of symptoms.
    • Provides histological evidence linking diabetes and thyroid inflammation.
