AbstractThree weeks after the administration of intravenous methylprednisolone therapy, a 42-year-old female patient suffering from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS) presented with a profound elevation of liver transaminases (GOT 485 U/l, GPT 1082 U/l, glutamyl transpeptidase 170 U/l). Liver biopsy revealed a profound, still active hepatitis with portal lymphocytic infiltration and fibrosis. Most likely, existing acute hepatitis was of autoimmune origin and emerged from an immune rebound phenomenon after immunosuppressive therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
