In the other thyroid-functional groups anti-receptor antibodies were found relatively less frequently. With the method of indirect immunofluorescence anti-microsomal antibodies were found in the sera of 12 patients, anti-thyroglobulin antibodies in nine cases. Antibody positivity was relatively most frequently found in manifest hypothyroidism (in five of ten cases) and recurrent manifest hyperthyroidism (in two of five cases). At the same time, antibody positivity against both antigens was observed in none of the patients.
1977) Surgical treatment of hyperthyroidism in children. 7 years after surgery. 3%. Autonomous adenomas were enucleated in two children and three young adults. Severe disorders in thyroid function developed especially after the surgery of diffuse toxic goiters accompanied by ophthalmopathy. The disorders of humoral and cellular immunity were detected most frequently in recurrent manifest hyperthyroidism. There was no case where ophthalmopathy progressed after the operation. In the offspring of the operated patients the incidence of hyperthyroidism was not increased in childhood.
Among the children of the operated patients only one 22-year-old hyperfunctional female patient was found (without ophthalmopathy and goitre). The operation does not seem to adversely influence the fertility of women, and we do not have to reckon with an elevated frequency of hyperthyroidism among their offspring. Discussion The histological structure of the thyroid gland of children differs greatly from that of adults: for example, autonomous adenoma, hardly occurs in children and hyperfunctional nodular goitre is also much less frequent [21].
