摘要: Background: The role of viruses as environmental triggers for Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is controversial. Thyroid epithelial cells express a variety molecules involved in antiviral responses. This study combined histological, immunological, and virological tests to describe changes tissue from patients with newly diagnosed untreated HT. To the early events, positive thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) normal function were also included. stage was defined “prethyroiditis.” Methods: collected 47 high titers TPO-Ab 24 controls. Seventeen had prethyroiditis, 17 subclinical hypothyroidism, 13 overt hypothyroidism. interferon (IFN)-α/β-inducible myxovirus resistance protein 1 (myxovirus A; MxA) used surrogate marker type I IFN expression. Inflammation, expression MxA, presence enteroviralcapsid (VP1) characterized by imm...
