    Subacute Thyroiditis and Graves' Disease Possibly Associated with Sars-CoV-2 Infection: Presentation of Two Cases and Review of the Current Data
    (AVES, 2022-01-01) Celik, Ozlem; Anaforoglu, Inan
    The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been identified as the cause of a pandemic of respiratory illness in Wuhan, China. Coronavirus disease 2019 may cause mild disease with nonspecific signs and symptoms such as fever, cough, myalgia, and fatigue or severe pneumonia with respiratory failure and sepsis. It is not clear whether coronavirus disease 2019 has an effect on the thyroid gland. Evidence support that patients with coronavirus disease 2019 who are followed up in the intensive care unit may develop temporary thyroid dysfunction as non-thyroidal illness syndrome. Until now, 22 cases of subacute thyroiditis and 5 Graves' diseases potentially related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection have been presented in the literature. Herein, we present 2 cases with subacute thyroiditis and Graves'diseases potentially related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection in the context of the review of the literature. Physicians should be aware of the possible relationship between thyroid dysfunction and coronavirus disease 2019.

    Successful Preoperative Treatment with Plasmapheresis of Patients with Hyperthyroidism
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2018-01-01) Bahsi, Seyma; Uzay, Ant; Rustemova, Nigar; Onder, F. Oguz; Celik, Ozlem
    Anti-thyroid drugs are used as the first line treatment in the majority of patients with hyperthyroidism, but side effects such as severe hepatotoxicity and agranulocytosis may occur in some rare cases. For patients suffering from such severe side effects and in need of emergent surgical interventions, the removal of circulating thyroid hormones and thyroid antibodies by preoperative plasmapheresis has been reported as an effective adjunct. In this study, we report two patients, one with Graves' disease who underwent a liver transplantation, and the second with a toxic multinodular goiter and acute cholecystitis due to suspected pancreatic cancer.
