Abstract

Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease Characterized by interface hepatitis, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, and hepatic rosettes. HIV infection is a state of immunosuppression; hence, the possibility of AIH is relatively rare, especially in patients with low CD4 counts. Therefore, we present an interesting case series of four patients with autoimmune liver disease with myriad presentations for the first time from India . We propose that despite the rarity of this presentation with immunosuppression, one should never miss such a treatable cause of liver disease leading to good clinical outcomes.<br /> (© 2022 Indian National Association for Study of the Liver.
