Cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis, chronic active hepatitis and autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in the same patient. 1985

A J Williams, and J Marsh, and D E Stableforth

A unique case is reported in which cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis, chronic active hepatitis and autoimmune haemolytic anaemia occurred together. An underlying systemic disorder, possibly autoimmune, may have been responsible. The clinical course and HLA antigen status support this hypothesis.

D011658	Pulmonary Fibrosis	A process in which normal lung tissues are progressively replaced by FIBROBLASTS and COLLAGEN causing an irreversible loss of the ability to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream via PULMONARY ALVEOLI.
