NCT ID NCT02798965

First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study investigated whether a parvovirus infection might trigger Graves' disease, an autoimmune thyroid condition. Researchers compared 52 participants—those recently diagnosed with Graves' disease and those with thyroid nodules or goiter—by testing their blood for parvovirus genetic material. The goal was to see if the virus was more common in the Graves' group, which could suggest a viral trigger.
