Prevalence of Circulating Parvovirus Genome in Recently Diagnosed Graves' Disease: a Case-control Study (GPCBasedow)

Lymphocytic thyroiditis is the most common autoimmune disease, usually affecting young women. Although the aetiology and pathogenesis remain obscure, the most widely accepted hypothesis is an interaction between a genetic predisposition and an environmental trigger factor such as viral infection. Parvovirus infections have been proposed as trigger factors for Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease.
