Core Tip Despite most adverse events following glucocorticoid (GC) administration for severe alcohol-associated hepatitis (SAH) are well-known, joint symptoms are overlooked and not mentioned in hepatology literature. We report a series of five patients, selected from a prospective cohort of patients with biopsy-proven SAH, who developed joint symptoms following GC cessation. Although the final diagnosis varied among patients, the emergence of joint symptoms after GC therapy for SAH represents a novel and noteworthy observation for clinicians managing these cases. In this report we hypothesize that some patients suffered from GC withdrawal syndrome, and we describe the therapeutic approach used.
