Sažetak
A case of postpartal autoimmune disease in a 33-year-old multiparous woman is described. Diabetes presented in the thirty-third week of pregnancy. The patient had typical clinical features of postpartal thyroiditis. Fine needle aspirate revealed lymphomatous thyroiditis. The patient's HLA DR phenotype was HLA DR2/DR3, ICa were negative. The possible postpartal activation of an immune process leading to autoimmune destruction of the thyroid and beta cells is briefly discussed.
