AB Two types of thyroid biochemical abnormalities (TBA) are observed in
AIDS. The unspecific TBA are similar to TBA reported in the Euthyroid
Sick Syndrome. An increased serum TBG of unknown origin and a decreased
circulating rT3 are the most specific TBA of AIDS. The latter
abnormality may be in relation with an elevated level of TNF. The
frequency of serum antithyroid antibodies seems higher than in control
groups. Opportunistic infections of the thyroid gland or destruction of
the thyroid by Kaposi's sarcoma are also reported in AIDS.
