Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) therapy is used to treat hepatitis C infection. The exacerbation and occurrence of psoriasis in hepatitis C patients treated with IFN-α is increasingly recognized, but the distinct associated features, etiology, and management have not been reviewed. To review all published cases of hepatitis C patients who developed psoriasis while receiving IFN-α therapy. The review was conducted by searching the PubMed database using the keywords “hepatitis C” AND “psoriasis.” In addition, references to additional publications not indexed for PubMed were followed to obtain a complete record of published data. We identified 32 publications describing 36 subjects who developed a psoriatic eruption while receiving IFN-α therapy for hepatitis C. Topical therapies were a commonly employed treatment modality but led to resolution in only 30% of cases in which they were employed solely. Cessation of IFN-α therapy led to resolution in 93% of cases. 100% of those who developed psoriasis while on IFN-α therapy responded to systemic therapy and were able to continue the drug. Further studies and analysis of IFN-α-induced lesions are necessary to clarify the role of IFN-α and the hepatitis C virus in the development of psoriatic lesions.
