ABSTRACT
The present report describes for the first time a case of diffuse hyperthyroidism in a 30-year-old female patient who had normal levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies (TSHR-Ab), slightly elevated plasma levels of thyroid hormones, and slightly increased thyroid blood flow. Seven years before, after severe stress, she had Graves' disease with elevated plasma levels of TSHR-Ab. The patient's recent medical history included mental stress and autonomic dysfunction. This report describes a mild form of hyperthyroidism in terms of elevated plasma levels of thyroid hormones and Doppler ultrasonography data; this condition was first defined as 'minor hyperthyroidism'. The examination data suggest a probable secondary role of the immune system and primary role of the autonomic nervous system in the pathogenesis of Graves' disease.
