Abstract:
Plasma thyroid hormones were measured in 8 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The results showed that plasma TT_3 and FT_3 levels were decreased and plasma rT_3 level tended to increase in these patients. These findings are in accord with the diagnosis of low T_3 syndrome.
