An Italian teenager may be the first known case of a painful thyroid infection caused by the new coronavirus, doctors report. What to know:

FRIDAY, May 22, 2020 -- An Italian teenager may be the first known case of a painful thyroid infection caused byA research team from Pisa, in northern Italy, said the 18-year-old woman's thyroid became sore and enlarged a few weeks after testing positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus in late February. The condition, called, cleared up completely within a week after she was treated with the steroid prednisone.

Still, the doctors believe that"physicians should be alerted about the possibility of this additional clinical manifestation" tied to the new coronavirus, study leader Dr. Francesco Latrofa, an at the University Hospital of Pisa, said in a news release from the Endocrine Society. He and his colleagues published the findings May 21 in"COVID-19 continues to show us many surprises," said thyroid expert Dr. David Hiltzik, director of head and neck surgery at Staten Island University Hospital in New York City.

"Thankfully, thyroiditis can easily be treated and should not be of great concern," added Hiltzik, who wasn't involved in the new research."That being said, if a patient had the virus and presents with new neck pain they should get that evaluated." In the Italian woman's case, she first got a nasal swab test for the new coronavirus on Feb. 28, because her father had been hospitalized earlier with COVID-19. The test turned up positive, but she experienced only mild, transient respiratory symptoms at first.

I have been diagnosed with this recently after having two or three bouts of viral infections (since April 2019)

rjber15 Nature looks to have intricately created COVID19 to damage Human Beings in the most comprehensive and varied way possible. Somewhere, our species screwed up mightily.

😬

Not buying into it.

The immune system gets confused about foreign and own body proteins when the mucosal layer gets weakened through poison like Glyphosate, an attack of the thyroid gland is possible. That's called an autoimmune disease.

Orrrrrrr... maybe she developed a thyroid infection around the same time as she contracted COVID. At some point, we need to come to terms with the fact that the medical community may be ‘witch hunting’ some of these pandemic diagnosis.

Really?! You mean the GMO hidden in our food/plant seeds, fluoride in our water, BPA packaging, chemtrails, and adrenal stress-induced from fear-mongering are not the cause of endocrine disruption and thyroid disease?

😲

Just as Covid-19 cases keep rising in 18 states, holiday revelers crammed together without masks▪︎ The number of new coronavirus cases keeps rising in 18 states — including Georgia, Arkansas, California and Alabama. ▪︎ In 22 states, the numbers appear to be holding steady. ▪︎ Only 10 states are seeing declines in the numbers of new cases. I love how no one is ever happy with reports. Lol always something to cry about with some people. Of course its going up you morons, were testing more than we wver have. The only number you should be concerned with js infected vs. death. As the testing goes up, the positives will increase and the mortality rate will drop. The numbers of cases that don't want to hear your BS is on the rise. States are opening back up and hospitalization will not rise. And that scares the living shit out of you guys. Because then there is no way to keep the scare tactic going.
