The Investigation of Cytokines and Bacterial Isolates in the Patient with Thyroid Gland Disorders

The study included the collection of 175 samples from patients diagnosed with thyroid disorder with different ages from duringthe period from octobar, 2016 to February, 2017 in Imamin Al-Kadiman medical city and Al-Kindi Teaching Hospital Results found a bacterial growth in the samples of urine, 80 % were positive for bacterial growth while 20 % were with negative growth for bacterial. All isolated diagnosed by microscopic and morphological characteristics, while API system was used for biochemical detection. The percentage of bacteria in isolates was 50 % of Staphylococcus aureus, 20 % of Staphylococcus, 12.5 % of both E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 5 % of Serratia marcescens. The serum levels of IL-6 significantly increased in the patients (341.6534.44 pg/ml) compared with healthy group (169.6272.55 pg/ml). Although, TNF- levels significantly decreased in the patients (228.5518. pg/ml) compared with healthy group (317.0924.53 pg/ml). Moreover, a positive correlation was observed between the levels IL-6 and TNF- with correlation coefficient of 0.452.
