A Flare of Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis After COVID-19
Copyright © 2022, Hamazaki et al..
While undergoing treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV)-associated cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CV), a 53-year-old male contracted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), resulting in a disease flare. Although HCV became negative due to the use of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, CV remained uncontrolled, and the patient was treated with prednisolone, azathioprine, colchicine, and rituximab. He had not been vaccinated against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). He was infected with SARS-CoV-2, likely the omicron variant, and developed a severe illness. However, mechanical ventilation and the administration of remdesivir, dexamethasone, unfractionated heparin, and tocilizumab improved his respiratory failure. Despite improvement in respiratory failure, the patient's skin lesions and peripheral neuropathy rapidly worsened, followed by the development of intestinal ischemia, which led to death. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of acute exacerbation immediately after SARS-CoV-2 infection of HCV-associated CV on immunosuppressive therapy.
