抄録

A 57-year-old woman was admitted with symmetrical proximal muscle weakness, liver dysfunction, abnormal muscle enzymes, and she was an antibody to hepatitis B e (anti-HBe) positive hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier. Biopsy of her left quadriceps femoris showed myositis, so prednisolone was started at 40 mg/day. However, her hepatic function deteriorated and liver biopsy after 4 months showed acute hepatitis with partial submassive necrosis. Treatment with interferonalpha and cyclosporin A progressively reduced the transaminase and HBV-DNA levels. Early treatment with interferon-alpha plus cyclosporin A can control exacerbation of hepatitis B.<br>(Internal Medicine 37: 519-522, 1998)
