  • Title: Chronic active hepatitis in the elderly.
    Author: Selby CD, Toghill PJ.
    Journal: Age Ageing; 1986 Nov; 15(6):350-6. PubMed ID: 3799364.
    Abstract:
    Five patients with autoimmune chronic active hepatitis were diagnosed for the first time over the age of 70 years. They tolerated diagnostic and follow-up liver biopsies well and made gratifying responses to conventional immunosuppressive therapy when indicated. Autoimmune chronic active hepatitis certainly occurs in the elderly and management should be similar to younger patients. We see no reason to withhold immunosuppressive agents.
