- Abstract
Acute suppurative thyroiditis is an uncommon infectious disease affecting mainly children and young adults (1). Recurrent acute suppurative thyroiditis due to persistent pyriform sinus-thyroid fistula is rare. There have been 109 cases of suppurative thyroiditis reported, mainly in the pediatric and otolaryngologic literature (2–40), since its first description in 1933 (2). Only 14 adult patients have been described (3–8).
