| Core Tip |
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is an uncommon extrahepatic manifestation of infection by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). We report the case of a patient who underwent liver transplantation for the treatment of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma associated with HCV infection, and who developed skin lesions and systemic symptoms, such as fever, post-transplantation. A short time after HCV antiviral treatment was started, the patient showed complete regression of all symptoms. While there are previous reports of leukocytoclastic vasculitis in solid organ transplant recipients, we have found no previous case in the literature of this being a symptom of HCV recurrence in this context. |
