“…In addition, in classical UC an atypical Th2‐type inflammatory response was described with increased IL‐13 and IL‐4 levels,9 whereas in autoimmune disease predominant Th1 responses were reported. A subgroup of patients with colitis is characterized by an association with autoimmune diseases,10–16 most commonly primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC),17–20 but also autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) or their combination (“overlap syndrome”) 21. The precise cause of this association is yet unknown.…”
Precise clinical, histological, and molecular analyses reveal marked differences between patients with CUC and those with associated AI phenomena, supporting the hypothesis of a distinct AI presentation of IBD.

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.
