Abstract
In chronic hepatitis C patients telaprevir attracts attention with high sustained virologic response and short term treatment however it is associated a new spectrum of adverse events, especially several cutaneous manifestations. We report a 66-year-old female patient developed drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms during telaprevir based hepatitis C treatment. All antivirals were discontinued and she was treated with supportive care. Systemic and cutaneous symptoms resolved in follow-up. Although rare, clinicians should be aware of potentially severe cutaneous skin reactions during telaprevir -based therapy. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2015;5(1): 36-37

Key words: Eosinophilia, hepatitis C, rash, telaprevir
