[Pathogenic considerations in an association of systemic sclerodermia, Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome and active chronic hepatitis]

The authors, report a case of scleroderma associated with Sjogren's syndrome and chronic active hepatitis, and propose a series of theories on the relationship between these 3 conditions. Each is successively considered as the cause of the two others through a cellular immune deficiency although the possibility of a chance association cannot be excluded.
