Abstract
The term autoimmune thyroid disease (or actually, diseases) (AITD) actually encompasses several conditions with widely disparate clinical and laboratory expression (1,2) Yet there is a common thread linking their autoimmune etiology(ies) that unites them all under the above generic term. Moreover, in addition to those entities that may strictly fall under that heading, there are other thyroid conditions (e.g., subacute thyroiditis, nontoxic nodular goitre, and papillary thyroid carcinoma) that are not primary autoimmune diseases, but nevertheless may manifest (secondary) immunologic disturbances (see Table 1) (1).
