  • Title: Weber-Christian panniculitis and chronic active hepatitis.
    Author: Edge J, Dunger DB, Dillon MJ.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 1986 Aug; 145(3):227-9. PubMed ID: 3769982.
    Abstract:
    We report a 4-year-old child with Weber-Christian panniculitis who subsequently developed histologically proven chronic active hepatitis, pancreatitis and extensive lipoatrophy. An "LKM" variant autoantibody was detected in the serum and a favourable response has been seen with immunosuppressive therapy. These findings lend support to the concept of Weber-Christian being an "auto-immune" disease.
