Emerging evidence from China indicates SARS- COV-2 may be associated with newly diagnosed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: a clinical study of 54 patients with COVID-19 complicated by newly diagnosed disease
COVID-19 patients complicated by HT are typically older, with fatigue being a distinguishing clinical manifestation. They are more prone to thyroid dysfunction, with subclinical hyperthyroidism being the predominant early thyroid function abnormality. Prolonged viral clearance time was identified as a factor associated with newly diagnosed HT.
