ABSTRACT
We report a young woman who was misdiagnosed as Graves' hyperthyroidism due to biotin immunoassay interference. Base on this case, essentials for diagnosis of thyroid diseases are discussed. We propose that in the clinical practice, a patient-centered professionalism should be consistently followed, and information other than laboratory findings should be valued.
