-Chronic thyroiditis or Hashimoto's disease is a common thyroid gland disorder. It can occur at any age, but is most often seen in middle-aged women. It is caused by a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland.
-The disease begins slowly. It may take months or even years for the condition to be detected. Chronic thyroiditis is most common in women and people with a family history of thyroid disease. It affects between 0.1% and 5% of all adults in Western countries.
-Hashimoto's disease may, in rare cases, be associated with other endocrine disorders caused by the immune system. Hashimoto's disease can occur with adrenal insufficiency and type 1 diabetes. In these cases, the condition is called [[type 2 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome]] (PGA II).
-Less commonly, Hashimoto's disease occurs as part of a condition called [[type 1 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome]] (PGA I), along with:
-* [[Adrenal insufficiency]]
-* Fungal infections of the mouth and nails
-* [[Hypoparathyroidism]]
