Summary : A 44-year-old woman was admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine of Fukuoka University Hospital for IFN-a administration to treat chronic hepatitis C. In her past medical history, she had experienced tinea pedis 5 years before starting IFN-a therapy. Asymptomatic scaly lesions on her right fingers appeared 6 days after the intramuscular administration of 10 million units of recombinant IFN-a2b five times per week was initiated. She had no special risk factors for the present lesions. A clinical examination revealed slight scaling plaques on the volar aspect of her first and second finger of the right hand (Fig. 1). No palmar or plantar involvement was observed. There was no relapse of the tinea pedis lesions. |
