| Résumé : | A 57-year-old patient with a toxic nodular goiter developed an angio-edema syndrome with hypereosinophilia. Hyperthyroid treatment with Iodine 131 caused a remission of the syndrome together with a slight hypothyroidism. Previously, several crises of asthma followed treatment with thyroid extracts. The remission was not by chance. In fact, thyroid hormones influence the metabolisms of the catecholamines and the steroids. In this way, they act not only on the cutaneous blood output but also on the different phases of the anaphylactoid reactions, including the liberation of chemical mediators from the mastocytes or the basophiles and the receptivity of smooth muscles to these substances. © 1978 Expansion Scientifique Française. |
