Sahitya Bandari, Mohammed Zakiullah Shareef, E. Emi Goldy, Naresh Vishwanath Iyer Murali, R. Keerthi Vardhini, Shanmukha Koppolu
TL;DR
This study finds a link between vitiligo and thyroid autoantibodies, suggesting thyroid screening for vitiligo patients.
Contribution
The study demonstrates a significant correlation between vitiligo and autoimmune thyroid disease, advocating for routine thyroid screening.
Findings
Vitiligo patients showed significantly higher thyroid autoantibody prevalence compared to controls.
The results suggest a need for routine thyroid screening in individuals with vitiligo.
Abstract
The association between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and vitiligo in adults is of interest. Anti TPO and anti TG antibody levels were measured in vitiligo patients and matched controls. Vitiligo subjects had significantly higher thyroid autoantibody prevalence than controls. Thus, we show routine thyroid screening in vitiligo. Further longitudinal studies are warranted.
