Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(10):1448-1454.   Published online October 15, 1996
An association between primary sclerosing cholangitis and ulcerative colitis is well known. But, primary sclerosing cholangitis with ulerative colitis has been rarely reported in children. The prevalence of primary sclerosing cholangitis among ulcerative colitis patiens is 3% in children. Primary sclerosing cholangitis is characterised by inflammation and fibrosis of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. The diagnosis of primary sclerosing cholangitis based on biochemical, histologic...
