title: Autoimmune cholangiopathy with dacryocystitis.
abstract: 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.
