Heart & Lung; The Journal of Acute and Critical Care, 09/10/09
Cunha BA et al. – The authors present a case of 55–year–old woman who presented with an FUO with clinical and laboratory findings suggesting TA. However, the absence of thrombocytosis and a normal alkaline phosphatase argued against the diagnosis of TA. Also against the diagnosis of TA was weight loss without loss of appetite and a slightly increased pulse. After nonspecific laboratory test results suggested that TA was not the cause of her FUO, additional tests were ordered. Thyroid function test results suggested the possibility of de Quervain's subacute thyroiditis as the cause of her FUO.
