[Two cases of Wilson disease diagnosed as autoimmune hepatitis].
Authors present two cases of Wilson disease in which the final diagnosis was very difficult and needed the differentiation with autoimmune hepatitis. Observation of those two patients leads to the conclusion that paediatricians have to deepen they knowledge of autoimmune hepatitis and Wilson disease which are seen more often in children now-a-days. It will help to quicker the diagnosis and treatment which is most essential for better prognosis in those patients.
