  • Title: [Generalized eczema secondary to combined treatment with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in a patient with chronic hepatitis from the hepatitis C virus].
    Author: Ruiz de Casas A, García-Bravo B, Camacho F.
    Journal: Actas Dermosifiliogr; 2005 Mar; 96(2):122-3. PubMed ID: 16476350.
    Abstract:
    Adverse skin effects from interferon (IFN) plus ribavirin combined therapy are relatively frequent, but they are usually local and related to the IFN injection site. However, distant or generalized eczematous reactions secondary to this treatment are rare. The introduction of pegylated interferons may increase the frequency of these skin lesions.
