Abstract

Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are exacerbated by interferon alfa and other treatments for hepatitis C virus infection. Immunosuppressants and hepatotoxic drugs are relatively contraindicated in hepatitis C. Data in the literature suggest that etanercept is a safe option in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and concurrent hepatitis C. We present three cases in which we have successfully used etanercept to treat psoriatic arthritis/psoriasis in patients with hepatitis C without worsening their hepatitis or interfering with their hepatitis treatment. With close monitoring of viral load and hepatic enzymes, etanercept may be a safe option for treating psoriatic arthritis/psoriasis in patients who also have hepatitis C.
