Overview

The hallmark of de Quervain's thyroiditis is hyperthyroidism with the neck pain. A positive history of viral illness and family history of de Quervain's thyroiditis are suggestive of de Quervain's thyroiditis. The most common symptoms of de Quervain's thyroiditis are neck pain, palpitations, tachycardia, nervousness, and tremors.

History and symptoms

History

Patients with de Quervain's thyroiditis usually have the history of viral illness and family history of de Quervain's thyroiditis. Patients may have the history of low-grade fever and viral flu-like symptoms, such as sore throat, myalgia, arthralgia, and malaise.

Symptoms

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of de Quervain's thyroiditis include:[1]

Symptoms according to the disease stage

De Quervain's thyroiditis usually causes hyperthyroidism in its acute phase. However, it can also cause hypothyroidism in some cases.[2][3][4][5]

Hyperthyroidism (in acute phase)

De Quervain's thyroiditis is usually preceded by a viral prodrome followed by the symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. This phase of thyrotoxicosis lasts for several weeks to few months.

General

The patient may have the following general symptoms:

Localized

The patient may have:

Gastrointestinal system

The patient may have:

Cardiovascular system

The patient may have:

Neuro-psychiatric system

The patient may have:

Skin and appendages

The patient may have:

Hypothyroidism (in later stage)

  • The symptoms of hypothyroidism may develop in the later stages of de Quervain's thyroiditis during the recovery of thyrotoxicosis. This phase usually lasts for four to six months.
  • Rarely, the residual hypothyroidism may persist.
