Abstract

Circulating autoantibodies to thyroid hormones are occasionally detected and may cause confusion, because symptoms and signs are inconsistent with the measured thyroid hormone values. We present a 5 1/2 year old girl with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and false high concentrations of free thyroxine and total triiodothyronine.
