Chronic active hepatitis and ulcerative colitis associated with eosinophilia, nonthrombocytopenic hypergammaglobulinemic purpura and serologic abnormalities.
A patient with chronic active hepatitis (CAH) and ulcerative colitis (UC) associated with eosinophilia, nonthrombocytopenic hypergammaglobulinemic purpura and serologic abnormalities is presented. Abnormal liver function, gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms as well as the associated epiphenomena responded dramatically to oral corticosteroid therapy. The remission was maintained during an eight month follow-up period with low dose prednisone therapy.
