    Recurrent acute suppurative thyroiditis can be caused by anaerobic bacteria. This study reports two new cases, highlighting the role of these organisms in thyroiditis pathogenesis.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Acute suppurative thyroiditis is a rare condition.
    • Recurrent episodes are even rarer, with limited literature available.

    Observation:

    • Two patients experienced recurrent acute suppurative thyroiditis.
    • Thyroid function tests (thyrotropin, thyroxine, triiodothyronine) and antibody levels were normal.
    • Cultures identified anaerobic bacteria, including Bacteroides, Peptostreptococcus, and Peptococcus.

    Findings:

    • Anaerobic bacteria were identified as the causative agents in recurrent acute suppurative thyroiditis.
    • The findings suggest a significant role for anaerobic organisms in the pathology of this condition.

    Implications:

    • This study adds two cases to the literature on recurrent acute suppurative thyroiditis.
    • Highlights the importance of considering anaerobic infections in the management of recurrent thyroiditis.
    • Suggests further research into the specific mechanisms of anaerobic bacterial involvement in thyroiditis.
