- Abstract
- Pegylated interferon plus ribavirin is the standard treatment regimen in chronic hepatitis C. The main adverse events of pegylated interferon plus ribavirin combination therapy are bone marrow depression, alopecia, insomnia, and influenza-like symptoms. However, there are few reports of cutaneous sarcoidosis occurring during pegylated interferon alpha-2a and ribavirin therapy. Here, we report a case of cutaneous sarcoidosis induced by pegylated interferon alpha-2a and ribavirin during the treatment for chronic hepatitis C. The patient’s sarcoidosis improved spontaneously after the treatment.
