摘要
Sixteen patients with thyrotoxicosis were admitted during a period of eighteen months (1984-1985) in Central Hospital of N'Djamena (Tchad). Clinical features, laboratory investigations are reported. Ten patients had a surgical treatment: subtotal thyroidectomy. A review of literature in Africa was made. Whereas thyrotoxicosis was rare among Africans before 1970, there has been an increase of frequency for twenty years. Many hypothesis are proposed, among them the possibility of the role of Epstein-Barr's virus, frequence in Africa.
