Abstrak
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic disease of the liver. Due to the permanent cholestasis, fibrosis and cirrhosis eventually occur. It is said to be a rare disease in black Africans. We reported a case of Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA) negative PBC in a forty-one-yearold woman who fulfilled two out of the three diagnostic criteria. This case was reported because a diagnosis of PBC is very rare in our environment especially, AMA negative PBC which is indeed the first to be reported in our environment. Although, access to newer methods of AMA assay were not possible in the light of the resource-limited environment we practice in.
