| Core Tip |
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately the 2% of population in Europe and North America. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects approximately the 3% of the world population with an estimated prevalence of 5 million people in the United States. Up to 0.06% of people in the United States suffer from both psoriasis and HCV. Psoriatic patients with HCV are excluded by randomized controlled clinical trials. Therefore, no data is currently available concerning the concomitant administration of biological disease modifying drugs and the new Direct-Acting Antiviral agents (DAAs) medications approved for the treatment of HCV infection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes in biological treatment and quality of life of psoriatic patients with HCV infection treated with DAAs compared to the previous standard therapy of Pegylated Interferon plus Ribavirin. |
