Abstract

The interaction between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) and autoimmune thyroid disease is an emerging phenomenon. The present study describes the case of a 28‑year‑old female who experienced a relapse of Graves' disease following SARS‑CoV‑2 infection. She was biochemically euthyroid for 2 years prior to COVID‑19 infection. However, she began experiencing palpitations, increased sweating and tremors of the hands 9 days after being diagnosed with COVID‑19‑related pneumonia. In addition to presenting this case, a comparison is made of this case to similar reports and the possible mechanisms underlying the association between SARS‑CoV‑2 and Graves' disease are discussed. One is a direct result of viral uptake by thyroid cells, while another is a result of the hyperinflammatory ʻcytokine storm’ and its effects on the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑thyroid axis and T‑cell immunity.
