  • Title: [Atypical primary biliary cirrhosis or autoimmune cholangitis?].
    Author: Primo J, Miralles A, Ferrando J, Albert A, Julve R, Gómez A, García L.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Hepatol; 1999 Dec; 22(10):505-9. PubMed ID: 10650665.
    Abstract:
    The term autoimmune cholangitis is used for a disease with clinical and pathological features of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), lack of anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA), presence of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), and good response to immunosuppresive therapy. The current knowledge of this condition is limited and it is not established whether or not it is a different syndrome from the CBP. We report a 51-year-old woman with chronic cholestasis, histological features of PBC, negative AMA and positive peripheral fluorescent ANA pattern, without response to prednisone.
