Core Tip
Core Tip: This is the first case report of autoimmune enteropathy and primary biliary cholangitis complicated with ulcerative colitis, and the female patient in this case suffered from a tortuous process of diagnosis and treatment. It is speculated that a microbial shift and subsequent immune response are involved in the pathogenesis of these comorbidities, and surgery may facilitate the progression of coexisting diseases. Understanding the progression of these diseases may help with their early recognition and treatment.
