Thyroid Storm Unmasked: A Rare Case of Acute COVID-19-Induced Thyroid Storm

Thyroid storm is a severe form of thyrotoxicosis with a mortality rate of 8%-25% despite modern advancements in both early identification and treatment. It is more common in patients with a history of Graves’ disease; however, its incidence remains as low as 0.57-0.76 cases per 100,000 per year. In...

description Thyroid storm is a severe form of thyrotoxicosis with a mortality rate of 8%-25% despite modern advancements in both early identification and treatment. It is more common in patients with a history of Graves’ disease; however, its incidence remains as low as 0.57-0.76 cases per 100,000 per year. In the setting of newly diagnosed COVID-19 with subsequent development of thyroid storm, the presentation is increasingly rare with only two reported cases in the current literature.
