The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a major public health worldwide. Hepatic dysfunction has been seen in patients with COVID-19 and could be related to a viral cytopathic effect, an exacerbated immune reaction, or drug-induced liver damage. Currently, routine modification of immunosuppressive therapy in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) before and after SARS-CoV-2 infection remains an important topic to be discussed. However, there is little evidence about this thematic to support any recommendation. Here, we described a case report in which the use of an immunosuppressive drug by a patient with diagnosed AIH might have influenced the COVID-19 clinical course with altered laboratory hematological and biochemical parameters during infection.
由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起的2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行已成为全球主要的公共卫生事件。COVID-19患者中出现了肝功能障碍,这可能与病毒细胞病变效应、加剧的免疫反应或药物性肝损伤有关。目前,自身免疫性肝炎(AIH)患者在感染SARS-CoV-2之前和之后常规调整免疫抑制治疗仍然是一个需要讨论的重要话题。然而,几乎没有证据支持这一主题下的任何建议。在此,我们描述了一例病例报告,其中一名确诊为AIH的患者使用免疫抑制药物可能影响了COVID-19的临床病程,感染期间实验室血液学和生化参数发生了变化。
