Uncommon association between diabetic ketoacidosis, thyrotoxicosis, cutaneous abscess and acute pericarditis in an immunocompetent patient: a single case report and literature review.

CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this uncommon association is described for the first time. Few studies have analyzed the implications of HTLV-1 infection in thyroiditis and diabetes mellitus. We did not find any reports describing the association of pericarditis with HTLV-1 infection. Additional studies are necessary to understand the role of HTLV-1 in endocrine and cardiac disorders.
