Hepatic injury due to dietary and herbal supplements can often share similar clinical characteristics with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). species, commonly known as elderberry, have been used in traditional medicine for centuries to prevent and treat respiratory problems. Although there are no clear reports on the association of elderberry with AIH or drug-induced hepatitis, there have been concerns about negative health manifestations linked to elderberry and the overproduction of inflammatory cytokines. In this article, we discuss a case of a patient who developed autoimmune hepatitis while on long-term elderberry-containing supplements and a probable association between the two.
饮食和草药补充剂引起的肝损伤通常与自身免疫性肝炎（AIH）具有相似的临床特征。接骨木属植物，俗称接骨木果，几个世纪以来一直在传统医学中用于预防和治疗呼吸道问题。虽然目前尚无关于接骨木与自身免疫性肝炎或药物性肝炎关联的明确报道，但人们一直担心接骨木与炎症细胞因子过度产生相关的负面健康表现。在本文中，我们讨论了一例在长期服用含接骨木补充剂期间发生自身免疫性肝炎的患者病例以及两者之间可能存在的关联。
