In contrast to normal thyroid, the thyroid glands from patients with SARS consistently showed destruction of the follicular epithelium and exfoliation of epithelial cells into the follicle. Our study has demonstrated that thyroid glands in patients with SARS were significantly affected by the disease with extensive injury to the follicular epithelial cells and the parafollicular cells. The extent of morphological injury and the large quantity of cells undergoing apoptosis that we observed in the thyroid follicular epithelium provide an explanation for the diminished serum T3 and T4 levels in patients with SARS.
