[Pregnancy and hyperthyroidism].

Abstract

Because the coincidence of hyperthyroidism and pregnancy is rare, there is come uncertainty in the management of these patients. In order to avoid complications during the course of pregnancy, it is important to know--besides etiology and pathogenesis--the particularities in diagnosis and start of the appropriate therapy in time.

Anti-thyroid drug methimazole: X-ray characterization of two novel ionic disulfides obtained from its chemical oxidation by I(2).

Interaction of methimazole (MMI, 1-methyl-imidazole-2-thione) with I2 in solvents having different polarity gives two new stable compounds containing a dication disulfide and a monocation disulfide arranged in dimers, respectively. These two species could represent effective intermediates in the reaction of MMI with an active iodine species in the thyroid gland and therefore shed more light on the mechanism of action of MMI as an antithyroid drug.

Determination of propylthiouracil using 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH): analytical methods of pharmacopeias with DBH in respect to environmental and economical concern: part 9.

USP 2000 [The United States Pharmacopeia, Rockville USA, 24th ed., 2000, pp. 1436] and PH. EUR. 1997 [European Pharmacopoeia, third ed., Council of Europe, Strasbourg, 1997, p. 1401] determine propylthiouracil using neutralization titration, whereby 0.1 M silver nitrate and twice boiling is necessary. With the application of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH), the assay of propylthiouracil can be performed easily, faster and friendlier to environment. A mean deviation of 0.03% and a relative standard deviation of 0.3% are obtained. 5-Bromo-6-propyluracil is formed, when propylthiouracil is determined with DBH.

Apathetic Graves' disease and acquired hemophilia due to factor VIIIc antibody.

Acquired hemophilia due to autoantibody to Factor VIII coagulant (Factor VIIIc) is a rare event which may be observed in patients with different autoimmune diseases. To our knowledge, this association has been reported only once in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease. Here we describe a patient presenting with a severe hemorrhagic disorder due to Factor VIIIc antibody in whom biochemical screening for thyroid diseases led to a diagnosis of hyperthyroid Graves' disease not associated to overt clinical features. This case underlines the importance of carrying out a complete screening for autoimmunity, including thyroid autoimmune disease, in all patients with apparently isolated serum Factor VIIIc inhibitors.
