ABSTRACT
Acute hepatitis presenting with blood eosinophilia are scarcely reported. Different clinical courses of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) have been associated with acute hepatitis with eosinophilia, however it is still unclear if the latter is a common manifestation of different autoimmune diseases, part of a similar spectrum of eosinophil-associated liver injury or even a trigger to AIH. We report a case of a 32 years old woman who presented with subacute hepatitis, peripheral eosinophilia, hypergammaglobulinemia and liver biopsy suggestive of AIH. The role of eosinophils in autoimmune liver diseases deserves further studies in order to clarify its physiopathology aspects.
