Use of levamisole in the complex treatment of patients with thyrotoxicosis

: The immune status was studied in patients with a familial nature of thyrotoxicosis and without complicated heredity. Disorders in the immune homeostasis, mostly expressed in thyrotoxicosis of familial nature, were revealed. Proceeding from the above the authors proposed a method of multimodality therapy of thyrotoxicosis with antithyroid drugs and immunomodulator levamisole causing a fast disappearance of the clinical signs of thyrotoxicosis, a decrease in thyroid activity and density and the reduction of the number of surgical interventions. The effect may be probably due to the normalization of the immune status.
