[Pleuropericarditis: early systemic manifestation of an active chronic hepatitis (author's transl)].
A case of relapsing pleuropericarditis is reported in which no etiological factors were found initially, especially in relation to any possible collagen disease. A retrospective review of the clinical, biological, and histological findings, coupled with the nature of the progression of the disease, suggested to the authors that this was the first expression of a systemic disease which later developed signs of Gougerot-Sjögren's syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and, three and a half years later, an active chronic hepatitis.
