RESUMO
Autoimmune thyroid disease has been described as a complication of HSCT for different indications and as a manifestation of inborn errors of immunity, like SCID. A 1-month female was diagnosed with RAG1-mutated SCID and received allogenic HSCT. She developed autoimmune hypothyroidism 5 months after transplantation and was treated with levo-thyroxine with a good response. Autoimmune thyroid disease can develop after HSCT during the immune reconstitution phase, leading to potentially severe neurological and growth impairment, particularly in SCID patients, often transplanted during the first year of life. Recommendations regarding early and frequent vigilance for thyroid function are needed in these patients.
