A rare case of autoimmune hepatitis overlapping with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura in a male patient
Palaniappan, Shanthi1, Ramanaidu, Sridhar2.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), which predominantly affects women and usually responds to immunosuppressive therapy, is a disease characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia,
increased titers of serum tissue autoantibody, and an immunogenetic background. This disease can present with a variety of coexisting non-hepatic disorders presumably caused by immune dysregulation. Here we present a male AIH patient with coexisting Idiopathic thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) which is rarely reported.
