The incidence of goiter among children residing in Beirut was found to reach proportions considered to be of public health importance. This incidence was much higher among a group of underprivileged children, mainly orphans. The orphans who spent the summer months outside the institution had less goiter than the permanent residents. The results of various thyroid function tests were similar to those of studies from other endemic regions, mainly a mean protein-bound iodine level within normal limits, a high uptake of I131, a low excretion of I127in the urine and negative potassium thiocyanate test results. |
