Abstract
Are Transient Environmental Agents Involved in the Aetiology of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis?
Highlights
A space-time clustering analysis of cases of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) was carried out, using population-based data from a defined geographical region of northeast England
This Special Issue of Disease Markers is dedicated to PBC and the role that transient environmental factors may play in aetiology
The aetiology of PBC is far from clear. In this Special Issue of Disease Markers, the role of transient environmental agents is reviewed by the seven invited contributors
Summary
A space-time clustering analysis of cases of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) was carried out, using population-based data from a defined geographical region of northeast England. This Special Issue of Disease Markers is dedicated to PBC and the role that transient environmental factors may play in aetiology. In this Special Issue of Disease Markers, the role of transient environmental agents is reviewed by the seven invited contributors. The possibility that the putative transient agent might be an infection is considered by some of the reviewers.
