Jaccoud’s arthropathy in primary biliary cirrhosis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic progressive cholestatic liver disease with fibrosis leading to cirrhosis [1–3] and liver failure [4,5]. PBC is often thought of as an organ-specific autoimmune disease, which mainly targets the liver; however, other tissue also can be a site for autoimmune involvement of PBC. Jaccoud’s arthropathy (JA) was a nonerosive deforming arthropathy initially described in patients with rheumatic fever (RF). Presently, the majority of the cases are seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [6-8]. Whereas, this complication is associated with other clinical conditions.
