Involvement of Viral Infections in the Pathogenesis of Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroiditis
Autoimmune DiseasesChronic Lymphocytic ThyroiditisAutoimmune diseases represent a heterogeneous group of pathologies whose etiopathogenic mechanisms are most often unknown. Autoimmune diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young women and autoimmune thyroid diseases are the most common. Viral infections are the main environmental factors suspected of triggering autoimmune diseases. Several viruses are certainly involved, all of which are possibly capable of triggering an autoimmune response. However, the precise identification of the viruses involved remains to be established. It has been shown for the first time by the 2005 PHRC that enteroviral RNA is present in perioperative specimens of thyroid tissue. However, this case-control study did not show any difference between the thyroid group and the group other thyroid pathologies It has been recently published that Parvovirus is possibly involved in thyroiditis: the parvoviral genome is present in the thyroid tissue of Hashimoto thyroiditis operated and more precisely is present within the thyrocytes itself.

The Effect of Thyroid Antibodies on Female Reproductive Function and Pregnancy Outcomes
ThyroiditisAutoimmuneSome women at reproductive age have positive antithyroid antibodies (ATAs). Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) are the most common ATAs. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ATAs on maturation of women reproductive system and pregnancy outcomes.
The Oral Microbiota is Associated With Autoimmune Thyroiditis
MicrobiotaAutoimmune thyroiditis (AITD) mainly includes Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Grave's disease (GD). Studies have shown that autoimmune thyroiditis is closely related to microbial disorders such as autoimmune thyroiditis However, there is no report on the relationship between oral microecology and autoimmune thyroiditis. Therefore, our group will study the correlation between oral microbiota and AITD.
