Thyroiditis (viral, post-partum)
Prodrome of viral illness
Sore neck
Thyrotoxic
Do not give anti-thyroid meds - depletes thyroid hormone and causes hypothyroidism

Pathophysiology
- Thyroid follicular cells in resposne to interferon gamma produced by infiltrating T cells express HLA class II molecules
- Allows presentation of TSH receptor to activated T cells and initiation of autoimmune cascade
- Anti-TSH receptor ab cause thryoid hormone hyperproduction as well as thyroid hypertrophy and hyperplasia of thyroid follicular cells

Thyrotoxicosis
Definition
Thyrotoxicosis denotes clinical, physiological and biochemical findings that result whn tissues exposed to excess thyroid hormone
Hyperthyroidism should only be used to denote conditions in which hyperfunction of the thyroid results in thyrotoxicosis
