Correlation between autoimmune thyroid disease and vitiligo: An analytical study
The association between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and vitiligo in adults is of interest. Anti TPO and anti TG antibody levels were measured in vitiligo patients and matched controls. Vitiligo subjects had significantly higher thyroid autoantibody prevalence than controls. Thus, we show routine thyroid screening in vitiligo. Further longitudinal studies are warranted.
