A case report of successful treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis, and review of the literature
2015
Background
Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is a cutaneous condition, its diagnosis suggested by the presence of a painful cutaneous ulcer showing rapid progression. Pyoderma gangrenosum is associated with a concomitant systemic disease in 50 to 70 % of cases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis, and lymphoproliferative disorders. Although PG has also been reported with viral hepatitis, it is rarely associated with autoimmune hepatitis.
