Signs of Autoimmune Thyroiditis in Children and Juveniles Affected by the Chernobyl Accident

A.M. Poverenny, A.P. Shinkarkina, V.K. Podgorodnichenko, E.G. Matveenko and A.F. Tysb

The content of antibodies to human thyroid microsomal antigen was investigated to evaluate the possible appearance of autoimmune thyroiditis in children and juveniles living in the areas of Kaluga region affected by the Chernobyl accident. The percentage of positive serva varied from 4.8% to 1.2% over seven years. There is a significant difference in the frequency of antibody appearance between persons affected by radioactive iodine and those not affected. A greater quantity of the positive sera was recorded in the areas with highest level of radioactive contamination. It is suggested that the elevated rate of autoimmune thyroiditis signs in children and juveniles is one of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident.
