Here we summarise the current knowledge about auto-immune liver diseases (AILDs) and SARS-CoV-2, focusing on: (1) The risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the course of COVID-19 in patients affected by AILDs; (2) the role of SARS-CoV-2 in inducing liver damage and triggering AILDs; and (3) the ability of...
