Thrombocytopaenia can be associated with an autoimmune mechanism. Immune thrombocytopaenia can be associated with thyroid autoimmune disease. The authors present a case of a teenager with a history of thrombocytopaenia who complained of tiredness. Laboratory investigation showed thyroid autoantibodies. The co-existence of thrombocytopaenia and thyroiditis lead to further investigation and antibodies against platelet glycoprotein IIbIIIa were found. This case illustrates the association of the overlap aspects between thyroid and platelet autoimmunity.

Lymphocytic Thyroiditis

All children with euthyroid goiters examined over a period of 3 years underwent study of thyroid function, needle biopsy, and measurement of thyroid antibodies. Sixty-six of 71 children studied had satisfactory biopsies of the thyroid. Of these, 43 (65%) had chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and 23 (35%) had simple goiter as determined by histologic examination of the biopsy specimen. Elevated titers of anti-thyroid antibodies were found in 50% of the patients with thyroiditis by the tanned red cell method and in 63% by the indirect Coons method. Neither antibody was present in significant quantity in 20% of the patients. Abnormal levels of antibody were rarely detected in children with histologic evidence of simple goiter. Treatment with thyroid extract has little effect on the progression of the disease process to fibrosis and atrophy. Such treatment may be necessary to anticipate the development of hypothyroidism or for replacement if thyroid function is already diminished. There is no evidence that simple goiter is associated with hypothyroidism, and treatment of this disease with thyroid preparations is necessary only for cosmetic purposes. Needle biopsy is the most useful means for making a distinction between thyroiditis and simple goiter.

Background and Purpose: Evidence suggests that elevated thyroid function and elevated levels of thyroid autoantibodies are associated with risk of Moyamoya disease (MMD). Therefore we performed a meta-analysis of all available evidence, including unpublished data from our own center, in order to assess this association. Methods: We reviewed the English- and Chinese-language literature in major databases to identify studies examining the association between MMD and thyroid function or thyroid autoantibodies. We combined these data with those from our own prospective study conducted in our hospital. Results: In our center, 28 patients with MMD and 28 age-matched control patients with non-MMD stroke were included. Based on our literature searches, we identified two studies for inclusion in our meta-analysis, to which we added our own prospective study described above. Data from our hospital study indicated an association between risk of MMD and elevated thyroid autoantibodies (OR 9.00, 95% CI 1.03 to 78.94), but not between risk of MMD and elevated thyroid function (OR 5.87, 95% CI 0.64 to 53.93). Meta-analysis of our data with findings from the literature further supported the association with elevated thyroid autoantibodies (OR 8.77, 95% CI 4.45 to 17.29) and also indicated an association with elevated thyroid function (OR 9.74, 95% CI 2.18 to 43.49). Conclusions: Evidence strongly suggests that elevated thyroid autoantibodies and elevated thyroid function are independently associated with MMD. These clinical variables may require regular monitoring in patients with MMD.
