Pyoderma gangrenosum in a patient with cryoglobulinemia and hepatitis C successfully treated with interferon alfa

J B Smith et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 1996 May.

Abstract

We describe a patient with long-standing pyoderma gangrenosum unresponsive to therapy. The patient had concomitant cryoglobulinemia and hepatitis C. When the hepatitis C was treated with interferon alfa-2a his pyoderma gangrenosum resolved. Whether this was from the interferon alfa or spontaneous resolution is not known.
