SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus, which has caused the recent pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 disease is a factor leading to autoimmunity. Thyroid disease is a rare manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Cases of subacute thyroiditis in patients with the Covid-19 infection have been described all over the world. Cases of thyroiditis, hypothyroidism and Graves' disease have been observed following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 virus has helped to limit the pandemic and is characterized by very few side effects. Cases of subacute thyroiditis and cases of Graves' disease have been found after vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In conclusion, SARS-CoV-2 is a coronavirus which has been related to the development of autoimmunity.
