Overview

De Quervain's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of thyroiditis, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis.

Differentiating De Quervain's thyroiditis from other diseases

Conditions Causes Age at onset Pathological findings Diagnostic approach
Painful subacute (De Quervain's) thyroiditis
  • Unknown
  • 20-60
Hashimoto's thyroiditis
  • Autoimmune
  • All ages, peak at 30-50
Silent thyroiditis
  • Autoimmune
  • All ages, peak at 30-40
  • Lymphocytic infiltration
  • Lymphoid follicles
Postpartum thyroiditis
  • Autoimmune
  • Childbearing age
Riedel's thyroiditis
  • Unknown
  • 30-60
Suppurative thyroiditis (Infectious Thyroiditis)
  • Infection
  • Children, 20-40
  • De Quervain's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of hypothyroidism on the basis of history and symptoms and laboratory findings:[2][3][1][4][5][6]
Disease History and symptoms Laboratory findings Additional findings
Fever Pain TSH Free T4 T3 T3RU Thyroglobin TRH TPOAb^
Transient hypothyroidism Subacute (de Quervain's) thyroiditis +/- +/- ↑/ ↓/ Normal Normal Low/absent
Postpartum thyroiditis +/- +/- ↑/ ↓/ Normal Normal/↑ Present (high titer)
Silent thyroiditis - - ↑/ ↓/ Normal Normal Present (high titer)
Primary hypothyroidism Autoimmune (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) - - * Normal/ Normal/↓ Normal/ Normal Present (high titer)
Riedel's thyroiditis - - Normal/↑ Normal/↓ Normal/↓ Normal/↓ Normal Normal Usually present
Suppurative thyroiditis (Infectious Thyroiditis) + + Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal Absent
Others Drug-induced - - /↓ /↑ Normal Normal/ Normal Absent**
  • History of hyperthyroidism
  • History of trauma
  • History of drug use, surgery, or radiation
Radiation-induced
Trauma induced
Radioiodine induced
Thyroidectomy
Subclinical hypothyroidism - - Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal Normal/
  • Asymptomatic


(†)T3RU; Triiodothyronine Resin uptake. (^)TPOAb; Thyroid peroxidase antibodies. (*)TSH may be decreased transiently in the thyrotoxicosis. (**)TPOAb may be present in drug-induced hypo/hyperthyroidism such as Interferon-alpha, interleukin-2, and lithium.
