Abstract: Objective To determine the level of the serum thyroxine in AIDS patients and investigate its content changes and clinical significance. Methods The serum levels of T3 ,T4 ,FT3 ,FT4 and TSH in AIDS patients were determined by chemilumiescence assay. The results were analyzed. Results The serum levels of T3 and FTM3 in AIDS patients of the observation group were significantly lower than that of the control group, showed significantly stiatistical differences [(1.78 ± 0.99) vs (2.43 ± 0.52) nmol/L, (3.75 ± 3.65) vs (5.68 ± 1.83) pmol/L, all P ＜0. 05]. While the levels of T4, FT4 and TSH in those of the observation group was higher than that of the controls without significant difference (all P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion The variations of levels of T3, T4, FT3, FT4 and TSH in AIDS patients had important clinical significance.
