Abstract
ABSTRACT
This article describes a teenage patient who was referred to a pediatric endocrinologist after her workup for recurring urticaria revealed a suppressed thyroid-stimulating hormone level and positive microsomal thyroid peroxidase antibodies. The patient's laboratory results revealed an autoimmune cause for the urticaria as a result of new-onset autoimmune thyroid disease.
