    Author: Asada S, Douhara A, Murata K, Yanase K, Tsutsumi M, Yoshiji H.
    Journal: Intern Med; 2019 Mar 01; 58(5):667-673. PubMed ID: 30333401.
    Abstract:
    Both autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and eosinophilic fasciitis (EF) are known to be complicated by other autoimmune diseases. However, AIH complicated by EF has never been reported. We experienced a 58-year-old man with AIH complicated by EF. He was admitted to our hospital with acute hepatic injury and edema of the legs in April 201X. The etiologies of these symptoms were histologically proven as AIH and EF. The administration of prednisolone (PSL) drastically improved his liver injury and edema of the legs. When we make a diagnosis of AIH, we should carefully evaluate the physical findings, including the appearance of the legs, in order to detect other coexisting autoimmune diseases.
