1 OBJECTIVE: Current thinking is that amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) might be either iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis in latent hyperthyroidism (Type 1) or destructive thyroiditis (Type 2), and also that colour-flow Doppler sonography (CFDS) of the thyroid and serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) are tools that can classify AIT and direct treatment.
