Overview
De Quervain's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of thyroiditis, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis. De Quervain's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of thyroiditis, such as De Quervain's thyroiditis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis. De Quervain's thyroiditis must also be differentiated from other diseases which cause hypothyroidism. As de Quervain's thyroiditis may cause transient thyrotoxic symptoms, the diseases causing thyrotoxicosis must also be considered in the differential diagnosis.
Differentiating De Quervain's thyroiditis from other diseases
- De Quervain's thyroiditis must be differentiated from other causes of thyroiditis, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and suppurative thyroiditis.[1]
Conditions | Causes | Age at onset | Pathological findings | Diagnostic approach |
---|---|---|---|---|
Painful subacute (De Quervain's) thyroiditis |
|
|
| |
Hashimoto's thyroiditis |
|
|
|
|
Silent thyroiditis |
|
|
|
|
Postpartum thyroiditis |
|
|
|
|
Riedel's thyroiditis |
|
|
|
|
Suppurative thyroiditis (Infectious Thyroiditis) |
|
|
|
|
- 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]

Differentiating de Quervain's thyroiditis from other causes of thyrotoxicosis
- De Quervain's thyroiditis can initially present with thyrotoxicosis which must be differentiated from other causes of thyrotoxicosis.[2][3][1][4][5][6][7][8][9]
