 AB    Two types of thyroid biochemical abnormalities (TBA) are observed in
       AIDS. The unspecific TBA are similar to TBA reported in the Euthyroid
       Sick Syndrome. An increased serum TBG of unknown origin and a decreased
       circulating rT3 are the most specific TBA of AIDS. The latter
       abnormality may be in relation with an elevated level of TNF. The
       frequency of serum antithyroid antibodies seems higher than in control
       groups. Opportunistic infections of the thyroid gland or destruction of
       the thyroid by Kaposi's sarcoma are also reported in AIDS.
