According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020, the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 has spread rapidly in many countries and has reached pandemic levels and remains one of WHO’s global challenges.
Purpose: To study the condition of the thyroid gland in patients with COVID-19. Objects of research and methods of examination: The object of research was the analysis of 84 patients who were treated on an outpatient basis in the clinic of "Doctor Fatkhullo" LLC in Fergana region. The following verification methods were used in the study. These include palpation of the thyroid gland (QB), Ultrasound Examination (UTT), RIA detection of thyroid hormones (TTG, T4 free, Anti TPO), and nodular biopsy as directed.
Results of the study: It was observed that the number of patients who underwent COVID-19 increased thyroid size, i.e., 30 patients (35%). Autoimmune thyroiditis occurred in 35 patients (42%) and was found to have decreased thyroid function (35%). And most dangerously, it was found that nodular tumors of the gland, i.e., nodular goiter, were present in 19 patients (23%). We came to this conclusion by examining the analysis of our patients who participated in this study. We need to conduct complex treatment procedures for such patients and focus on improving their quality of life and preventing complications.
