Abstract

The diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis remains difficult in low-income countries due to the unavailability of the biopsy. autoimmune hepatitis must be retained on the basis of clinical-biological, radiological and immunological criteria. Careful trial corticosteroid therapy and diagnostic scores are essential for diagnostic autoimmune hepatitis.
