The many ‘faces’ of Graves' disease

PREVIEW

Deceptive signs and symptoms of Graves' disease, a common thyrotoxic condition, sometimes lead to delayed diagnosis and misdirected management. In this article, Drs Felz and Stein blend clinical experience with a review of the literature to clarify bedside and differential diagnosis, laboratory findings, and selective management options for this multisystem autoimmune syndrome. Part 1 of this article, which illustrates the clinical “faces” of patients with Graves' disease, was published in the October 1 issue, page 57.
