There are many autoimmune diseases associated with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), known as primary biliary cirrhosis. The association between PBC and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has rarely been reported. Among the 23 concomitant cases reported since 1970, PBC was diagnosed first in 10 cases and both diseases were almost simultaneously diagnosed in the remaining 13 cases. This suggests that there were few concomitant cases in which AIHA developed first before PBC.
We report in this paper a 74 years old woman with concomitant autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and primary biliary cholangitis. This case suggests an association between AIHA and PBC.
