Abstract
A 42-year-old woman was admitted to Kinashi Ohbayashi Hospital for liver dysfunction. She presented with hepatitis C viral infection accompanied by autoimmune hepatitis-like serological manifestations, such as antinuclear antibody (ANA), antismooth muscle cell antibody and especially anti-ribonucleoprotein (RNP) antibody and anti-SSB antibody. After interferon therapy, hepatitis C virus was not detected and ANA, anti-RNP antibody and anti-SSB antibody disappeared. To our knowledge, this is the first reported hepatitis C patient showing anti-RNP antibody and anti-SSB antibody, having complete remission after interferon therapy.Entities:
