ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 56 años quien es evaluado por presentar a nivel del dorso de ambas manos cicatrices hiperpigmentadas e hipopigmentadas, asociadas a quistes de milia. Se le realizó estudios del metabolismo de las porfirinas y biopsia cutánea de las lesiones los cuales resultaron compatibles con porfiria cutánea tarda. En el laboratorio inicial se encontró elevación de los valores de transaminasas, identificándose posteriormente infección crónica por virus de hepatitis C. Con la finalidad de tratar la infección viral y resolver el compromiso dérmico, considerado como manifestación extrahepática del virus hepatitis C, se inició tratamiento con interferón pegilado y ribavirina evolucionando favorablemente con respuesta viral rápida, carga viral no detectable hasta la actualidad (36 semanas de tratamiento), disminución del nivel de transaminasas séricas y mejoría de las lesiones dérmicas.


The present case is a 56 year old male who present hyperpigmented and hypopigmented scars in both hands, associated with the presence of milia cysts. It was studied the metabolism of porphyrins and skin biopsy of the lesions which were compatible with porphyria cutanea tarda. In the initial laboratory, elevated transaminases values were found and subsequently identified chronic infection of hepatitis C virus. In order to treat viral infection and resolve the dermal commitment; considered extrahepatic manifestation of hepatitis C virus, treatment was started with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, with favorably development and rapid viral response, with undetectable viral load until now (24 weeks of treatment), decreased level of serum transaminases and improvement of skin lesions.
