Περίληψη:
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is frequently associated with
a number of extrahepatic complications. In the majority of cases the
underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are immune mediated, as evidenced by
the presence of circulating autoantibodies (mixed cryoglobulinemia),
whereas for others a localized host cellular immune response is
implicated (e.g. sialadenitis, lichen planus). In this review, the
latest data on the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of the most
common autoimmune extrahepatic manifestations of chronic HCV infection
are presented. (c) 2005 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
