Primary biliary cirrhosis: When and why does the disease develop?

Primary biliary cirrhosis is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with an autoimmune pathogenesis, that generally develops in adult life, often in perimenopausal age. The clinical features are heterogeneous, ranging from an asymptomatic presentation to end-stage liver disease. Primary biliary cirrhosis is unknown in children and its natural history has yet to be elucidated. Following a Canadian report of primary biliary cirrhosis in two girls (16 and 15 years old), we describe a clinical case developing at 17 years of age. A temporal association between Borrelia Burgdorferi infection and diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis was observed.
