Abstract:
Autoimmunological hepatitis is a long lasting disease with periods of recurrences and remissions. There is a limited knowledge on this subject during the pregnancy. We present a case of a subsequent pregnancy (twin) in woman with autoimmunological hepatitis. The patient's condition between both pregnancies was so severe that she was assigned for organ transplantation. However after treatment with prednisolone and azathioprine patient's outcome improved. The patient got pregnant in a short time after remission. Pregnancy did not have any negative influence on symptoms of the disease in this case; moreover we observed complete remission of the disease.
