ACUTE SUPPURATIVE THYROIDITIS
Abstract
Acute suppurative thyroiditis is an extremely rare non-viral infectious disorder, mostly of bacterial origin. The treatment typically consists of antibiotics and surgical drainage. However, recent reports have suggested that conservative management may suffice in selected cases. We present a case of acute suppurative thyroiditis managed with non-invasive therapy only.
