Abstract

A 44-year-old man had persistent fever following a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Because of progressive sinus tachycardia, thyroid hormones were measured which showed hyperthyroidism. Thyroid sonography revealed enlargement of the thyroid gland with hypoechoic areas with blurred margins. We diagnosed subacute granulomatous thyroiditis associated with SARS-CoV‑2 infection and initiated therapy with prednisolone. This therapy resulted in rapid improvement of the patient’s clinical condition and complete remission after three months.
