The clinical characteristics and outcomes of SAT after COVID-19 remain incompletely defined. Therefore, we aimed to collect and survey case reports of SAT after COVID-19. We performed a systematic search of PubMed\/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The keywords and MeSH terms used for the searches were \u201csubacute thyroiditis\u201d and \u201cCOVID-19.\u201d A total of 38 patients from 26 case reports, case series, and letters on SAT associated with COVID-19 were included and analyzed. The most frequent SAT symptom was neck pain (27 cases), followed by fever (22 cases). Of the 25 cases with information on the duration between onset of COVID-19 symptoms and onset of SAT symptoms, the shortest was simultaneous occurrence, and the longest was 4 months. In most cases, patients developed SAT at several days or weeks after the onset of COVID-19. All patients with SAT recovered with no severe complications or sequelae. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of SAT development in patients with neck pain and fever following COVID-19. Further research is necessary to determine the relationship between SAT and COVID-19.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.21-1223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,6]],"date-time":"2022-09-06T14:26:03Z","timestamp":1662474363000},"page":"1074-1082","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Subacute Thyroiditis after COVID-19: A Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Yuya","family":"Ando","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology, Self-Defense Forces Central Hospital, Tokyo, Japan;"},{"name":"Department of Family Medicine, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yosuke","family":"Ono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine, National Defense Medical College, Saitama, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Azusa","family":"Sano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine, National Defense Medical College, Saitama, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoya","family":"Fujita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine, National Defense Medical College, Saitama, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sachiko","family":"Ono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Eat-loss Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"JAMA","first-page":"709","article-title":"The novel coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China: challenges for global health governance","volume":"323","author":"Phelan","year":"2020"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"JAMA","first-page":"1239","article-title":"Characteristics of and important lessons from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China: summary of a report of 72314 cases from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention","volume":"323","author":"Wu","year":"2020"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"BMJ","first-page":"m4677","article-title":"Comparative evaluation of clinical manifestations and risk of death in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 and seasonal influenza: cohort study","volume":"371","author":"Xie","year":"2020"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"J Clin Endocrinol Metab","first-page":"dgaa537","article-title":"Is subacute thyroiditis an underestimated manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection?
