Zusammenfassung: | To the Editor,
Graves' disease, an autoimmune disease characterized by antibodies against the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Association of pseudothrombocytopenia (PTP) with Graves’ disease was reported in only one case and the course of PTP was not defined in this paper1.
