[Immunologic and cytologic aspects of Hashimoto's thyroiditis during therapy with thymopentin].

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of thyroid autoantibodies and frequent coexistence of other autoimmune disorders. The object of our research was to examine the peripheral blood and fine-needle cytology modifications in patients with this disease during therapy with Timopentina. Our results suggested a possible therapeutic effect of Timopentina, as an alternative to traditional cortisone treatment.
