    Author: Targońska-Stepniak B, Majdan M, Suszek D, Laskowska K.
    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2006 Nov; 21(125):480-3. PubMed ID: 17345845.
    Abstract:
    The paper presents diagnostic problems and therapeutic management in a case of 34 year old woman with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) connected with overlap syndrome: autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Life threatening cardiac arrhythmia was the first clinical manifestation of the disease. Pulmonary embolism occurred a few months later, with the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. The diagnosis of AlH and PBC was made as a result of further research of complex immunological disturbances observed in the patient and after liver biopsy.
