Drug-induced Sweet's syndrome secondary to hepatitis C antiviral therapy

Liana Gheorghe et al. Int J Dermatol. 2008 Sep.

Abstract

Pegylated interferon-alpha in combination with ribavirin currently represents the therapeutic standard for the hepatitis C virus infection. Interferon based therapy may be responsible for many cutaneous side effects. We report a case of drug-induced Sweet's syndrome secondary to hepatitis C antiviral therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Sweet's syndrome in association with pegylated interferon-alpha therapy.
