Abstract
TAGLE ARROSPIDE, M.; VEGA DULANTO, J.; SCAVINO LEVY, Y. and LUNA CAMPODONICO, E.. Síndrome de sobreposición entre Hepatitis Autoinmune y Cirrosis Biliar Primaria: Reporte de caso. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2004, vol.24, n.4, pp.349-352. ISSN 1022-5129.
We present a case of an elderly female, without past medical history of alcohol, medication or hepatotoxic substances intake, with negative serology studies for viral hepatitis, who had evidence of chronic liver disease ( Score B in the Child-Turcotte-Pugh scoring system). The patient presents mixed clinical, serologic, immunologic and histologic features of Autoimmune Hepatitis and Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. We postulate this is a variant or overlap syndrome.
Keywords : Overlap syndrome; Autoimmune Hepatitis; Primary Biliary Cirrhosis.
