Obtaining a [[History and Physical examination|history]] gives important information in making a [[diagnosis]] of euthyroid sick syndrome.

In euthyroid sick syndrome the symptoms of the underlying condition may overlap with features of [[hypothyroidism]]. Generally it takes atleast 2-3 weeks for [[thyroid hormone]] levels to decline and symptoms of [[hypothyroidism]] takes even longer period for [[expression]]. The common symptoms of hypothyroidism are [[fatigue]], cold intolerance, decreased [[sweating]], [[hypothermia]], coarse skin, [[weight gain]], [[depression]], [[emotional lability]], and [[attention deficit]].

Overview

Obtaining a history gives important information in making a diagnosis of euthyroid sick syndrome. Complete history should be obtained regarding past and any newly diagnosed medical condition, previous history of thyroid disease and current medications. Patients of euthyroid sick syndrome present with serious illness and are febrile with hypermetabolism. In euthyroid sick syndrome the symptoms of the underlying condition may overlap with features of hypothyroidism. Generally it takes atleast 2-3 weeks for thyroid hormone levels to decline and symptoms of hypothyroidism takes even longer period for expression. The common symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, cold intolerance, decreased sweating, hypothermia, coarse skin, weight gain, depression, emotional lability, and attention deficit.

History

Obtaining a history gives important information in making a diagnosis of euthyroid sick syndrome. It provides insight into the cause, precipitating factors, and associated comorbid conditions. A complete history will help determine the correct therapy and helps in determining the prognosis. In severe cases of euthyroid sick syndrome patients may be disoriented, therefore, the patient interview may be difficult. In such cases, history from the care givers or the family members may need to be obtained. The areas of focus should be:[1][2][3][4]
