We present a case of a young woman with alternating hyper- and hypothyroidism. During the treatment of her infertility, the outpatient

gynaecologist revealed subclinical hyperthyroidism (diagnosed as a hyperthyroid period of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis) which subsequently

switched to hypothyroidism. Following thyroxin supplementation the patient became pregnant and bore a full-term child. Four

months after the delivery a post-partum thyroiditis sprang up and vanished spontaneously without treatment. This case-report demonstrates

how thyroid gland function may alternate in an immunologically predisposed terrain (positive thyreoglobulin antibodies).

Keywords: chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, thyroiditis post partum, thyreoglobulin antibodies
