Popis:	Auto immune Hepatitis (AIH) with cholestatic jaundice is a rare entity. AIH is characterized by inflammatory changes in liver with the presence of circulating auto antibodies and hyperglobulinemia. Here we report a case of 67-years-old lady who presented with Acute autoimmune hepatitis with cholestatic jaundice with early accurate diagnosis and early initiation of corticosteroids recovered successfully. Even though it is very rare AIH should not be overlooked in patients with cholestatic jaundice without viral/drug induced hepatitis.
