DISCUSSION
Both of the studied patients had thyroid manifestations along with COVID-19. However, despite the administration of the proper treatment for the thyroid storm and improvement of their symptoms, one of them eventually developed respiratory symptoms of cytokine release syndrome and died. It must be noted that the manifestations of COVID-19 and thyroid storm together make a much worse prognosis for the patient. However, in previous studies, there was no evidence of thyroid storm. It must be noted that thyroid storm is a clinical diagnosis that can be confirmed by diagnostic criteria of Burch et al.5. Prompt diagnosis of thyroid storm is essential for the reduction of its mortality and morbidity. It is very important to consider the unknown aspects of COVID-19 disease for proper diagnosis and treatment.
