Abstract

Patients with systemic sclerosis may have overlap or features of other autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammatory chronic liver disease of idiopathic origin. It has features of prominent autoimmunity, such as specific autoantibodies and hypergammaglobulinemia. Here we describe a case of a middle-aged female who presented with anorexia and jaundice who turned out to have a conundrum of autoimmune disorders.
