The Oral Microbiota is Associated With Autoimmune Thyroiditis
The Oral Microbiota is Associated With Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AITD) mainly includes Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Grave's
 disease (GD). Studies have shown that autoimmune thyroiditis is closely related to microbial
 disorders such as autoimmune thyroiditis However, there is no report on the relationship
 between oral microecology and autoimmune thyroiditis. Therefore, our group will study the
 correlation between oral microbiota and AITD.
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AITD) mainly includes Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Grave's
 disease (GD). Studies have shown that autoimmune thyroiditis is closely related to
 microbiological disorders. Intestinal microelements Both ecology and oral microecology belong
 to the category of microorganisms. It has been reported in the literature that intestinal
 microecology occurs disorder of autoimmune thyroiditis. However, there is no report on the
 correlation between oral microecology and autoimmune thyroiditis. When oral microbe flora
 When the immune system is disrupted, the immune balance is broken, the immune system is
 over-active, and the autoimmune disease (AID) is lost to the autoantigens and non-pathogenic
 commensal microbial flora antigens, including rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome,
 systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, and allergic diseases. However, the
 association between oral microbial flora and AITD remains unclear. . Therefore, the research
 group will carry out the correlation between oral microbial flora and AITD.
