| Abstract |
|
Autoimmune hepatitis accompanied by systemic erythematosus lupus is rare. Usually, lupus-related advanced liver involvement
is indistinguishable from autoimmune hepatitis accompanied by lupus, as they share common clinical, biochemical, serological,
and histological manifestations. However, each disease has its own diagnostic criteria, and they have been defined as two different
categories. Therefore, distinguishing between the two diseases is important to determine the correct diagnosis and treatment. A
41-year-old woman was hospitalized with jaundice and a malar rash. The patient met the diagnostic criteria of both systemic erythematosus
lupus and autoimmune hepatitis. After corticosteroid treatment, the patient’s condition improved. Therefore, we report
our experience of a rare case of autoimmune hepatitis accompanied by systemic erythematosus lupus with a review of the literature.
