Overview
De Quervain's thyroiditis can be classified according to the development of symptoms into the prodromal stage, hyperthyroid stage, euthyroid stage, and hypothyroid stage.
Classification
De Quervain's thyroiditis can be classified according to the development of symptoms into the following stages:[1][2][3]
1. Prodromal stage
It includes:
- Low-grade fever and viral flu-like symptoms, such as sore throat, myalgia, arthralgia, and malaise.
- High-grade fever and neck pain with a tender and diffuse thyroid gland enlargement follow flu-like symptoms.
2. Hyperthyroid stage
It follows the prodromal stage and includes the symptoms of thyrotoxicosis such as:
- Tachycardia and tremors
- Irritability and nervousness
3. Euthyroid stage
Thyrotoxic stage is followed by a 1–3-week period of euthyroid phase.
4. Hypothyroid stage
The transient hypothyroid stage lasts for 6-12 months.
- Rarely, the hypothyroid stage may persist for a longer duration.
