Acute suppurative thyroiditis in children
Thyroiditis is a thyroid parenchymal injury caused by thyroid inflammation due to various reasons, including various types of thyroid inflammation and infection. In recent years, due to the progress of pathogenesis research and detection methods, the detection rate has increased. Acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) is relatively rare in pediatrics, which may be related to the fact that the thyroid has a complete capsule, high iodine content, and rich blood and lymph supply, which is conducive to bacterial invasion and growth.
