Abstract
In a recent article in Pediatrics, by Kirkland et al.,1 reference is made to only 36 cases of acute suppurative thyroiditis in children. Two years ago we made a review of the literature due to two unusual cases evaluated by us, one is a 1½-year-old Negro Dominican boy2 who presented two recurrent episodes of acute suppurative thyroiditis and a 7-year-old Puerto Rican girl who presented acute suppurative strumitis, for she suffered from chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis with superimposed suppuration.
