    Author: Min JK, Park KS, Yu WJ, Lee YS, Park SM, Park SH, Cho CS, Kim HY.
    Journal: Korean J Intern Med; 2000 Jan; 15(1):89-92. PubMed ID: 10714099.
    Abstract:
    We report a 46-year-old woman with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) presenting with Sjögren's syndrome and systemic mononuclear inflammatory vasculopathy. Biopsy specimens of sural nerve showed findings consistent with vasculitic neuropathy. Perivascular inflammatory mononuclear cell infiltration was observed on muscle biopsy specimen. The findings of abdominal computed tomography and brain magnetic resonance imaging were suggestive of vasculitis. Clinical manifestations and radiologic findings were improved after high dose prednisolone therapy.
