Overview

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus named for the similarity of its symptoms to those caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been considered a global pandemic since its first emergence in Wuhan, China. On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic.COVID-19 has been found to affect several organs and body systems, including the endocrine system, with short-term and possible long-term consequences. Recent data shows that COVID-19 patients have experienced a range of thyroid diseases.

Historical Perspective

Classification

There is no established system for the classification of COVID-19-associated thyroid disorders.

Pathophysiology

The exact pathogenesis of COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases is not fully understood. However, the following hypotheses have been suggested for the development of thyroid dysfunction in COVID-19 patients.

  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors are essentially involved in SARS-CoV-2 internalization into host cells. the thyroid gland is amongst the organs which have the highest levels of ACE2 expression and activity. Therefore, following SARS-CoV-2 infection, thyroid damage could result from either a direct or immune-mediated injury.
  • COVID-19 may also cause an immune system imbalance and in severe cases a cytokine storm, which may break immunotolerance in susceptible patients, leading to new onset of immune-mediated thyroiditis, exacerbating a previous thyroid disease, or inducing a recurrence of thyroid disease.

Causes

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a novel coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.

Differentiating COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases from other Diseases

Epidemiology and Demographics

Several cases of subacute thyroiditis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, myxedema coma, Grave's disease, atypical thyroiditis, thyrotoxicosis have been reported in COVID-19 patients worldwide [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [9] [10] [2]

Risk Factors

There are no established risk factors for COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.

Screening

There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

A number of observational studies have shown that COVID-19 infection may be linked to some thyroid diseases, including:

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Study of Choice

The diagnosis of COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases is made based on the thyroid function test (TFT), which measures serum levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

History and Symptoms

Physical Examination

Laboratory Findings

Electrocardiogram

X-ray

There are no x-ray findings associated with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

CT scan

  • There are no CT scan findings associated with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.

MRI

There are no MRI findings associated with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.

Other Imaging Findings

Other Diagnostic Studies

Treatment

Medical Therapy

Surgery

Surgery is not a treatment option for patients with COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.

Primary Prevention

There are no established measures for the primary prevention of COVID-19-associated thyroid diseases.

Secondary Prevention
