Pegylated interferon alfa has recently been shown to be more effective than classical interferon alfa for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C with or without cirrhosis. However, a higher frequency of cutaneous complications has been observed with this new compound [1, 2, 3, 4, 5 et ]. We report a case of severe bacterial cellulitis complicating peginterferon alfa-2b injection in a patient with chronic hepatitis C and diabetes mellitus.
