Autoimmune thyroid dysfunction after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 36, page 277 (2005)Cite this article

I read with great interest the paper by Au et al1 published recently in BMT. I have also studied autoimmune dysfunction, particularly hyperthyroidism, in patients with leukemia and lymphoma.2 In contrast to the series by Au, in all our cases but one, the hyperthyroidism either preceded or accompanied the lymphoproliferative disorders and thus, was not associated with the treatment. We attributed this association to the high incidence of autoimmune phenomena observed with lymphoid neoplasia.
