Hyde's prurigo nodularis and chronic HCV hepatitis.
The authors describe a woman with chronic active hepatitis, Hyde's prurigo nodularis and hepatitis C virus infection. The association of these three pathologies and their parallel evolution during treatment suggest a possible pathogenic link between the chronic hepatitis C virus infection and the skin disease.
