| description | A 17-year-old girl presented with fever, icterus and painful small
nodules on her face and a larger nodular lesion on the left shin. The patient had
fatigue, intermittent jaundice and abdominal pain over the preceding three months.
The nodular lesions ulcerated and had the typical clinical and histopathological appearance
of pyoderma gangrenosum. Although there was no hepatosplenomegaly, serum
aminotransferases and immunoglobulin G were elevated; antismooth muscle antibodies
were detectable. Inflammatory bowel disease was not presenr. Autoimmune
chronic active hepatitis and pyoderma gangrenosum are a rare association and this is
the youngest patient in whom the association has been reported. |
