thyroxine has been researched along with Fever of Unknown Origin in 5 studies
Thyroxine: The major hormone derived from the thyroid gland. Thyroxine is synthesized via the iodination of tyrosines (MONOIODOTYROSINE) and the coupling of iodotyrosines (DIIODOTYROSINE) in the THYROGLOBULIN. Thyroxine is released from thyroglobulin by proteolysis and secreted into the blood. Thyroxine is peripherally deiodinated to form TRIIODOTHYRONINE which exerts a broad spectrum of stimulatory effects on cell metabolism.
thyroxine : An iodothyronine compound having iodo substituents at the 3-, 3'-, 5- and 5'-positions.
Fever of Unknown Origin: Fever in which the etiology cannot be ascertained.

| " He improved rapidly but went on to develop hypothyroidism on follow-up and required levothyroxine replacement." | 3.75 | An uncommon endocrine cause of pyrexia of unknown origin. ( Alexander, V; Chattopadhyay, A; Kurien, TT, 2009) |
| " Except for asymptomatic bacteriuria in one patient (who remained febrile despite appropriate antibiotic therapy) infection was ruled out in all cases, and fever was attributed to "masked" thyrotoxicosis, triiodothyronine (T3) toxicosis, subacute thyroiditis, primary adrenal insufficiency, secondary adrenal insufficiency and pheochromocytoma." | 3.66 | Hormonal hyperthermia: endocrinologic causes of fever.
