Abstract

Viral infections are considered as etiologic factors of subacute thyroiditis. The true incidence of subacute thyroiditis, caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, is probably considerable since it is often masked by more dramatic affection of the respiratory system. This report presents two female patients who developed de Quervain's thyroiditis after COVID-19 disease.

Keywords: COVID‐19; SARS‐CoV‐2; de Quervain's thyroiditis; subacute thyroiditis.
