Autoimmune hepatitis is a generally progressive chronic hepatitis of unknown etiology. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren’s syndrome are chronic, multifaceted inflammatory diseases that can affect every organ system, although hepatic involvement is rare. Here, we report two rare cases: autoimmune hepatitis associated with SLE and with primary Sjögren's syndrome. A 52-year-old woman and a 60-year-old woman were admitted our hospital with jaundice and pruritus. They had no history of viral hepatitis, alcohol consumption, or drug use. The pathological findings, clinical manifestations, and laboratory findings satisfied each of the diagnostic criteria for autoimmune hepatitis as well as for SLE and Sjögren’s syndrome in the first and second cases, respectively. These patients were treated with prednisolone, and then followed regularly. (Korean J Med 2011;80:697-702)
