Overview
De Quervain's thyroiditis can be classified according to the development of symptoms into the prodromal stage, hyperthyroid stage, euthyroid stage, and hypothyroid stage.
Classification
De Quervain's thyroiditis can be classified according to the development of symptoms into the following stages:[1][2][3]
1. Prodromal stage
Prodromal stage includes low-grade fever and viral flu-like symptoms, such as sore throat, myalgia, arthralgia, and malaise.
2. Hyperthyroid stage
It follows the prodromal stage and includes the symptoms of thyrotoxicosis.
3. Euthyroid stage
Thyroid hormones are within the normal range and there are no specific symptoms. Euthyroid phase usually lasts for 1–3 weeks.
4. Hypothyroid stage
Thyroid hormones are decreased as a result of glandular damage and this stage usually lasts for 6-12 months.
