ABSTRACT
The development in the past few years of laboratory test for hepatitis C virus allow us to associate it with a broad range of autoimmune manifestations such as cryoglobulinemia and Sjögren syndrome. As in other virus' infections, rheumatic manifestations have been described during VHC infection, but there are no large studies enough to know their true frequency and characteristic. The three reported patients in this issue presented and HCV related arthropathy once clinical picture, laboratory test and following, allowed us to exclude other diagnostics. Clinical manifestations ranged from arthralgias and intermittent arthritis to symmetric polyarthritis without any kind of join damage.
