Abstract:
Aim Until recently, clinicians caring for patients with psoriasis who were infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) were concerned that treating one condition could exacerbate the other. We evaluated the outcome of treatment with direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) on patients with psoriasis having chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection. Patients and methods This was an observational prospective cross-sectional study. It included CHC-naive patients with plaque psoriasis. All patients received sofosbuvir plus daclatasvir once daily for 12 weeks for treatment of CHC. Psoriasis area severity index (PASI) scores and the dermatology quality-of-life index were evaluated at the start of treatment with DAAs and then at 12 and 24 weeks after the end of HCV treatment. The primary end point was sustained virological response 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12). Results A total of 34 CHC-naive patients were enrolled in this study. Most of them were of male sex (76.5%), and most of them had severe psoriasis, as the mean PASI score was 32. The primary and secondary end points (SVR12 and SVR24) for our patients were 100%. Regarding PASI and dermatology quality-of-life index scores, there was a highly significant difference before start of treatment and after treatment at 12 and 24 weeks. The most common adverse events are fatigue and headache. Conclusion Sofosbuvir plus daclatasvir is effective in the eradication of HCV and improvement of symptoms in patients with psoriasis having CHC infection. Future large series studies are needed to evaluate this promising effect of DAAs.
