RESUMO
El Lupus inducido por drogas tiene una prevalencia estimada del 10%, debe sospecharse frente al antecedente de la exposición a un farmaco y están relacionado en forma temporal al uso del mismo. Generalmente, luego de suspender la droga el cuadro se resuelve. El Interferón-α puede ser responsable tanto de gatillar una respuesta inmune en pacientes predispuestos como de exacerbarla en aquellos con patologías autoinmunes previas. Comunicamos el caso de un varón de 54 años con infección por virus de hepatitis C que desarrolló LES inducido por IFN-α pegilado y realizamos una revisión de la literatura.(AU)

The authors describe college and university students' use of widely advertised pharmaceutical products. Four hundred seventy-one students from three institutions completed self-administered questionnaires that addressed the use of advertised medications, attention to magazine ads for medications, communications with physicians about medications, and the conditions the medications address. Results indicated that the majority of the students used at least one of the advertised products. Most students did not discuss the pharmaceutical products with their physicians or discuss the conditions for which they reported they were taking the drugs.

This study examines college and university students' responses to direct-to-consumer advertising of pharmaceutical products in magazines. Four hundred seventy-one students from three institutions participated in the study that found that the majority of the students were frequent magazine readers, they noticed ads for the pharmaceutical products, and they used the advertised products. Although most students denied buying or using the products because of the ads, there was a significant correlation between number of ads seen and number of products used.
