[h=1]There was a case of 2009 H1N1 believed to cause thyroid storm. (No mention of strep in this case.) That one sounds like the first influenza associated thyroid storm ever reported. Unfortunately the patient passed away possibly since the thyroid malfunction took 3 days to be diagnosed.

While the parainfluenza virus has previously been associated with one case of thyroid storm, neither Influenza A infection nor H1N1 strain infections has been previously cited as a precipitant for such a crisis. The fear of an H1N1 infection pandemic that occurred through out 2009 has caused much confusion, sometimes leading to delay in the diagnosis of some important illnesses and to misclassification of patient under the umbrella of H1N1 infection. The diagnosis of thyroid storm was delayed in our case because of the emphasis on H1N1 infection.
