xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader Acute suppurative thyroiditis: An unusual complication Via Thyroid Res Pract Dipratim Das, Partha Chakraborty, Madhurima Ganguly, Pankaj Kumar Halder Thyroid Research and Practice 2021 18(1):37-39 Acute thyroiditis is rare and usually subsides with medical therapy. An abscess arising due to it is even rarer. Sometimes, surgical drainage is required to control ongoing infection and sepsis. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl who had acute suppurative thyroiditis. The swelling was not resolving after 9 days of administering intravenous antibiotics and eventually compressing the esophagus and trachea which was relieved leading to a speedy recovery on emergency surgical drainage.
