Abstract
Mice infected with reovirus type 1 developed a mild thyroiditis characterized by focal destruction of acinar tissue, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and autoantibodies to thyroglobulin and microsomal antigens. Thyroid involvement appeas to be part of a more generalized virus-induced polyendocrine disease.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
