ABSTRACT

A infecção pelo vírus C da hepatite é frequentemente associada a manifestações extra-hepáticas - dentre elas, manifestações reumatológicas. Na maioria dos casos, o mecanismo patogenético é imunologicamente mediado, como evidenciam a presença de autoanticorpos: crioglobulinemia mista, fator reumatoide e anticorpo antinuclear. O foco deste artigo são as manifestações clínicas reumatológicas mais comuns da infecção crônica pelo vírus da hepatite C.


Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is frequently associated with extrahepatic complications, like rheumatologic manifestations. The majority cases of these manifestations, the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are immune mediated; this is evidenced by the presence of circulating autoantibodies: mixed cryoglobulinemia, rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibodies. The focus of this article is the most common clinical rheumatic manifestations of the chronic HCV infection.
