A Case of Autoimmune Hepatitis Presenting with Fever and Bicytopenia

Abstract

Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic inflammatory liver disease of unknown cause. In the etiology, genetic predisposition and triggering factors such as viruses (hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, Ebstein Bar virus, cytomegalovirus), bacteria, drugs (propylthiouracil, nitrofurantoin, isoniazid, etc.) are emphasized. Cases may be asymptomatic or present with complaints such as fatigue, weakness, jaundice, upper abdominal discomfort, pruritis, loss of appetite, nausea and fever. We presented a case of autoimmune hepatitis presenting with fever and bisitopenia.
