The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)1,2 has seriously affected northern Italy. Preliminary data analysis of patients with COVID-19 who required high intensity of care at our institution (Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, Italy) showed that these individuals commonly had low or suppressed serum thyroid stimulating hormone, with and without elevated free thyroxine concentrations, which suggests thyrotoxicosis.
