Thyrotoxicosis induced by alpha-interferon therapy in chronic viral hepatitis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The rates of sensitivity and specificity of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for the diagnosis of thyroid malignancy differ considerably among various reported series. These values are influenced by three factors: (a) whether only clearly positive and negative results are considered, or whether the com...
