Hormone Research, 06/12/09
Kaguelidou F et al. - Antithyroid drug (ATD) treatment is recommended as the initial treatment, leading to a marked improvement in most symptoms within 1 month of treatment initiation. Remission is achieved in 30% of children after a first course of ATD. Alternative treatments, such as radioactive iodine or thyroidectomy, are considered in cases of relapse, lack of compliance or ATD toxicity. The risk of relapse after a first course of ATD treatment for a median period of 2 years has been shown to be higher in patients with severe biochemical hyperthyroidism at diagnosis, young children and patients of non-Caucasian origin.
