[Polyserositis in a female patient with hypothyroidism]. / Poliserozyt u khvoroï na hipotyreoz.

A case is described of hypothyrosis, with an exudate coming into the serous cavities (pericardium, pleura, peritoneum) being a predominant symptom in the clinical picture of the condition. It took three months for the events related to polyserositis to dispel completely as a result of the substitution hormonotherapy. There were no sings of decomposition of hypothyrosis (recurrence of exudation in the serous cavities) during a 6-year prophylactic management. The authors maintain that polyserositis is suggestive of hypothyrosis, so can be of help in the diagnosis of this medical condition.
