Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, Temporal Arteritis (Giant Cell Arteritis) and Polymyalgia Rheumatica in a Single Patient

Abstract

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), an autoimmune disorder, is well known to be in some cases associated with some other autoimmune disorders (1-3). We report a patient with PBC who presented giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) which are probably both autoimmune disorders.
