Interferon-α and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease
Abstract
Interferon-alpha (IFN alpha) is the main therapeutic agent in patients infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is rather safe, but is known to induce the production of autoantibodies and can lead to the occurrence of autoimmune disease. This minireview focuses on the induction of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in HCV-infected patients treated with IFN alpha. Females carry a higher risk to develop AITD upon IFN alpha treatment, with a relative risk of 4.4 (95% confidence interval 3.2-5.9). The presence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies before therapy has a relative risk for AITD of 3.9 (95% confidence interval 1.9-8.1). IFN alpha-associated AITD can consist of autoimmune primary hypothyroidism, Graves' hyperthyroidism, and destructive thyroiditis, with hypothyroidism being the most common side effect. The clear association between AITD and IFN alpha use suggests that high endogenous IFN alpha levels may also be associated with naturally occurring AITD. High endogenous IFN alpha levels are seen in patients infected with certain viruses. It is concluded that IFN alpha is one of the environmental factors capable of triggering the onset of AITD in genetically susceptible individuals.

“In a review of published cases from eight series, 69% of 49 patients with IFN-a-associated thyrotoxicosis for whom an etiology was identified were found to have GD, based on either positive TRAb titers or requirement for a prolonged course of ATDs ( 640).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
