The exact pathogenesis of De Quervain's thyroiditis is unclear. Cytotoxic T cell recognition of viral and cell antigens presented in a complex leading to thyroid follicular cell damage has been proposed as the pathogenesis of de Quervain's thyroiditis. De Quervain's thyroiditis is usually preceded by a viral prodrome. Various viral infections are associated with the de Quervain's thyroiditis including mumps, adenovirus, Epstein–Barr virus, coxsackievirus, cytomegalovirus, influenza, echovirus, and enterovirus. | |||
