Is there a role for viruses in triggering autoimmune hepatitis?

Autoimmunity reviews - 1 Jan 2004

Vento Sandro, Cainelli Francesca

Abstract excerpt

A role for viruses in autoimmune hepatitis (AH) has been repeatedly proposed but convincing evidence links only two viruses, hepatitis A and Epstein-Barr virus, to the type 1 form of the disease, and only in those rare cases where a genetic predisposition exists and the viral infection occurs at the right time, i.e. when other unknown factors are cooperating. In spite of an impressive amount of information...
