Hakaru HashimotoThe Centennial of Hashimoto's
Thyroiditis

This year is the centenary of the publication of the original paper describing what became known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

The disease has been called Hashimoto's thyroiditis, chronic thyroiditis, lymphocytic thyroiditis, lymphadenoid goiter, and recently autoimmune thyroiditis, and is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. It is named after the Japanese physician, Hakaru Hashimoto, who first described it in 1912. As a mark of respect for Dr. Hakaru Hashimoto, his picture is used in the logo of the Japan Thyroid Association.

An interesting article published in the Endocrine Journal in 2002, entitled Hashimoto's Disease and Dr. Hakuru Hashimoto explains what Hashimoto described and published, and what happened thereafter.
