Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Rheumatic Diseases: The Impact of Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents
Résumé
Hepatitis C virus infection is associated with many extrahepatic manifestations, including
rheumatic disorders such as arthralgia, myalgia, cryoglobulinemia vasculitis, and sicca
syndrome.The treatment of hepatitis C virus infection has long been based on interferon alfa, which
was contraindicated in many autoimmune/inflammatory disorders.The emergence of new oral interferon-free combinations now offers an opportunity for patients infected with hepatitis C virus with extrahepatic manifestations, including autoimmune/inflammatory disorders, to be cured with a short treatment duration and a low risk of side effects.
