Abstract
The diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis remains difficult in low-income
countries due to the unavailability of the biopsy. autoimmune hepatitis
must be retained on the basis of clinical-biological, radiological and
immunological criteria. Careful trial corticosteroid therapy and
diagnostic scores are essential for diagnostic autoimmune hepatitis.
