Abstract	Background Hepatitis C virus infection is the main cause of chronic liver disease, and patients are at risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The treatment in CHC is the combination of pegylated interferon 2a (peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV), the standard therapy with 24 to 48 weeks regimen. Cutaneous adverse effects are common, with a higher incidence in combination therapy than in IFN alone, and when serious, discontinuation of therapy is mandatory.
