Abstract

Background: We describe a case of leucocytoclasic vasculitis induced by Sofosbuvir and its disappearence after the end of the therapy. The hepatitis C virus, firstly described in 1989, is a major global health problem, with high morbidity and mortality. We observed a temporal relationship between the treatment and the onset of vasculitis. We emphasize the multidisciplinary approach to the patients with liver disease to improve the quality of life of these patients.

Case presentation: A 53-year-old Caucasian man with a history of hepatitis C virus genotype 1 infection was examined at our Department of Dermatology for the occurrence of palpable purpura. The patient referred that the first appearance of the dermatoses was about one month after initiation of therapy with Sofosbuvir for hepatitis C.

Conclusions: Vasculitis appeared after the beginning of Sofosbuvir and, even though it was treated with different medications proved to be effective, it disappeared only after the conclusion of the therapy, giving a strong evidence to be a drug eruption.

索非布韦致白细胞破裂性血管炎1例。

背景:我们描述了一例由索非布韦引起的白细胞破坏性血管炎，并在治疗结束后消失。丙型肝炎病毒于1989年首次被描述，是一个主要的全球卫生问题，发病率和死亡率都很高。我们观察到治疗与血管炎发病之间的时间关系。我们强调肝病患者的多学科方法，以提高这些患者的生活质量。病例介绍:一名53岁的白人男性，有丙型肝炎病毒基因型感染史，在我皮肤科检查可触及的紫癜的发生。患者提到，该皮肤病首次出现是在索非布韦治疗丙型肝炎开始一个月后。结论:索非布韦开始治疗后出现血管炎，尽管用不同的药物治疗均有效，但在治疗结束后才消失，有力地证明是药疹。
