Study: Covid-19 patients may develop thyroid disease

She completely recovered from COVID-19, testing negative a few days later, but started experiencing some additional symptoms, according to the researchers. They noted the young woman had neck and thyroid pain, fever and an increased heart rate.

The woman had normal thyroid functioning and imaging just one month earlier, they said. "Because of the chronological association, SARS-CoV-2 may be considered accountable for the onset of subacute thyroiditis," Latrofa added.
