- Abstract
- Pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFN-α) is widely used to treat chronic hepatitis C in combination with ribavirin. Many adverse effects of PEG-IFN-α, such as hematologic, psychologic, dermatologic, immunologic, and other abnormalities, have been reported, and some serious adverse events lead to PEG-IFN-α treatment discontinuation. For very rare adverse events such as panniculitis, there are no established guidelines on whether to continue PEG-IFN-α treatment. Published reports on panniculitis induced by PEG-IFN-α 2a are sparse. Herein we report a case of repeated occurrences of panniculitis in a patient with chronic hepatitis C, leading to treatment cessation.
