Pityriasis rubra pilaris, lichen planus, alopecia universalis and vitiligo in a patient with chronic viral hepatitis C.
A 43-year-old man, affected with alopecia universalis and vitiligo since his childhood, developed erythrodermic pityriasis rubra pilaris followed then by lichen planus; chronic viral hepatitis C was diagnosed. This appears to be a unique constellation of cutaneous diseases implying both autoimmunity and hepatitis C virus.
