Abstract
This study investigated the possible relationship between the autoimmune thyroid disorders and hepatitis B and C infections. We studied prospectively 100 patients (78 women and 22 men; mean age: 44.32 ± 11.39 Yrs) and 100 euthyroid (70 men and 30 women; mean age: 40.10 ± 8.95 Yrs) as controls.
