Abstract
We describe the first Finnish case of hepatitis C associated osteosclerosis. In which the patient's bone symptoms and bone density were resolved with hepatitis C treatment. Suspecting the possibility of osteosclerosis underlying bone pains in a hepatitis C patient is well-founded, although osteoporotic fractures are a more common problem.
