Historical Perspective
Historical perspective
Silent thyroiditis was first described as the painless form of the subacute thyroiditis as the clinical course is same. It was differentiated from postpartum thyroiditis on the basis of thyroid involvement outside of the postpartum period.[1][2]
- Silent thyroiditis was first described as the painless form of the subacute thyroiditis as the clinical course is same.
- Silent thyroiditis is also identical to the lymphocytic thyroiditis on biopsy but was differentiated on the basis of less extensive thyroid involvement.
- Postpartum thyroiditis is indistinguishable from silent thyroiditis. The sporadic nature of silent thyroiditis explains the involvement of thyroiditis outside of the postpartum period.
