Recent studies revealed a prominent role of newly discovered Th17 subset in the induction of autoimmune disorders and that the signaling induced by IL-23 on Th17 cells is crucial to obtain a pathogenic and sustained phenotype. The objective of this study was to provide the involvement of interleukin IL-23/IL-17 axis in pathologic processes %K Hashimoto¡¯s thyroiditis %K Interleukin-23 %K Interleukin-17 %K ultrasonography %K fibrosis %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6535326/
