Autoimmune cholangiopathy with dacryocystitis.
Autoimmune liver diseases are different entities that sometimes have overlapping features. They share many of the general characteristics of autoimmune diseases, with systemic involvements. Here, we report a 30-year-old woman with ophthalmic symptoms of conjunctivitis and dacryocystitis who was treated completely. After a few months, the patient presented with autoimmune cholangiopathy. Sequelae of autoimmunity have been considered in different organs in this case.
