as per Kaplan, As u may know etialogy and pathogenesis of postpartum lymphocitic thyroiditis is un known. It is a kind of transient Hyper Thy which goes away.

But (I think as per emedicine) post partum tyroi is considered as a possible part of spectrum which eventually leads to Hashimoto (Hyper...> euo....>Hypo). This is surprising because Hashi has known auto immune association compared to no etialogy given by Kaplan

So my feeling is this: Link with Hashi if antimicrosomal or other antibodies a given & don't link it with hashi if not given.

(double check if like, because the above are just remembered statements)
