There are increasing reports of extrapulmonary clinical features of COVID-19, either as initial presentations or sequelae of disease. We report a patient diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis precipitated by COVID-19 infection, as well as review the literature of similar cases. Case Presentation: A 41-year-old female with no significant personal or family history of endocrinologic disorders presented with clinical features of thyroiditis that began after COVID-19 infection. Clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings were indicative of subacute thyroiditis. Workup for potential triggers other than SARS-CoV-2 was negative. Discussion\/Conclusion: We compared the clinical and diagnostic findings of our patient with other well-documented cases of subacute thyroiditis presumed to be triggered by SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. We also reviewed the literature related to the potential mechanisms leading to thyroiditis. Clinicians must be aware of the possibility of thyroid dysfunction after COVID-19 infection. Early recognition and timely anti-inflammatory therapy help in successful management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000511872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,5]],"date-time":"2020-11-05T17:00:43Z","timestamp":1604595643000},"page":"324-328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-17","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Subacute Thyroiditis from COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report and Review of Literature"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5821-048X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akshay","family":"Khatri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra\/Northwell Health, Manhasset, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Esti","family":"Charlap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Department of Medicine, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra\/Northwell Health, Great Neck, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angela","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra\/Northwell Health, Manhasset, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026070713001872000_ref1"},{"key":"2026070713001872000_ref2"},{"key":"2026070713001872000_ref3"},{"issue":"10229","key":"2026070713001872000_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1054","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30566-3","article-title":"Clinical course and risk factors for mortality of adult inpatients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a retrospective cohort study","volume":"395","author":"Zhou","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2026070713001872000_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104386","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcv.2020.104386","article-title":"Gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic manifestations of COVID-19","volume":"128","author":"Patel","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Clin Virol"},{"issue":"11","key":"2026070713001872000_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2458","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.26157","article-title":"Extrapulmonary and atypical clinical presentations of COVID-19","volume":"92","author":"Abobaker","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Med Virol"},{"key":"2026070713001872000_ref7","first-page":"577","article-title":"Silent thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditis","volume-title":"The thyroid: a fundamental and clinical text","author":"Lazarus","year":"1996","edition":"7th ed"},{"key":"2026070713001872000_ref8","article-title":"Acute and subacute, and Riedel\u2019s thyroiditis.
