Abstract
We present the case of a 31 year old male patient, admitted in the 3rd Medical Clinic Cluj-Napoca for asthenia, fatigue, effort hepatalgia, pain located in the legs and small joints of the hands. Patient has been diagnosed a year ago with chronic B viral hepatitis and received Peginterferon alpha 2a treatment. After performing clinical and paraclinical exams we established that patient suffers from type I autoimmune hepatitis, inverted psoriasis with psoriatic arthropathy, recent onset of type II diabetes mellitus. These conditions are likely to appear consecutively to Interferon therapy. The markers for B virus hepatitis (Ag-HBs, IgM-HBc, AgHBe, ADN-HBV) were negative. The evolution was favorable after therapy with immunosuppressants, corticoids, oral antidiabetics and antisecretors.
