Emine Parlak, Serpil Erol Thyroid crisis is the severe form of hyperthyroidism. The predisposing factors are mostly surgeries and additional diseases. Although the case is rare, the mortality rate is high. Here, we present a thyroid crisis case which implies infectious diseases. A 36-year-old female patient admitted to the hospital with high fever, abdominal pain, and unstable mental state. Physical examination revealed icterus, tachycardia, and hepatosplenomegaly. Serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4) levels were elevated and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was highly suppressed. An infectious etiology was suspected on admission, but further investigation revealed thyroid crisis. Patients with high fever should be considered in differential diagnosis of non-infectious causes such as thyroid crisis. In these cases, early and correct diagnosis is important for prognosis.

Tiroid krizi, hipertiroidinin yaşamı tehdit edecek kadar ağırlaşması durumudur. En sık hazırlayıcı nedenler ameliyatlar ve ek hastalıklardır. Nadir görülmesine rağmen mortalite yüksektir. Bu makalede infeksiyon hastalıklarını taklit eden bir tiroid krizi olgusu sunduk. 36 yaşında bayan hasta yüksek ateş, karın ağrısı ve mental durum değişiklikleri ile hastaneye başvurdu. Fizik muayenesinde ikter, taşikardi ve hepato-splenomegalisi vardı. FT3, FT4 düzeyleri yükselmişti ve TSH oldukça baskılanmıştı. İlk başvuruda infeksiyöz bir neden düşünülen hastada yapılan tetkikler sonucu mevcut klinik tablonun tiroid krizine bağlı olduğu saptandı. Bu olgularda doğru ve erken tanı prognoz açısından önemlidir
