Hepatitis autoinmune, síndrome seco y poliartritis con respuesta satisfactoria al tratamiento combinado de corticoides y ciclosporina
Autoimmune hepatitis, Sjögren's syndrome and polyarthritis with satisfactory response to combined treatment with corticosteroids and cyclosporin
Resumen
La hepatitis autoinmune es una entidad poco frecuente. Puede presentarse como un proceso multisistémico, asociado a artritis, manifestaciones cutáneas e incluso glomerulonefritis, siendo en estos casos difícil de delimitar con una enfermedad del tejido conectivo. El tratamiento estándar son los corticoides aislados o bien asociados a azatioprina. En casos refractarios, esta entidad puede responder al tratamiento con fármacos inmunomoduladores. Presentamos a un paciente con síndrome seco, poliartritis y hepatitis autoinmune que respondió satisfactoriamente al tratamiento combinado de esteroides y ciclosporina.
Resumen
Autoimmune hepatitis is an infrequent entity.
It can present as a multisystemic process with arthritis, cutaneous manifestations and even glomerulonephritis, making differential diagnosis with connective tissue disease difficult. Standard treatment consists of corticosteroids alone or in combination with azathioprine. In refractory cases, autoimmune hepatitis may respond to treatment with immunomodulatory drugs. We present a male patient with Sjögren's syndrome, polyarthritis and autoimmune hepatitis who showed a satisfactory response to combined treatment with corticosteroids and cyclosporin.Hepatitis autoinmune
